Features for temples, trusts and NGOs
Purpose-built tools for Indian religious institutions and charitable organisations — not adapted from general business accounting software. Every feature is aligned with Indian trust law, Income Tax Act requirements and NGO compliance obligations.
Receipt Management
Generate and print 80G-compliant donation receipts in under 60 seconds — on desktop or mobile. Every receipt includes your Section 12AB registration number, 80G approval order number, donor PAN, sequential receipt number and mode of payment as required under Section 80G(5). Send to donors via WhatsApp or email instantly. All receipt data auto-populates your Form 10BD donor list at year-end.

Trustee Management
Track every trustee's and office bearer's personal contributions by name, date and amount — with a date-stamped, tamper-proof history per trustee. Each trustee gets a separate profile linked to the trust deed. Generate trustee-wise contribution summaries for AGMs, board meetings and Income Tax Department queries. Role-based access ensures the secretary, treasurer and trustees each see only what their role requires.

- ✓Role-based access — secretary, treasurer, trustee
- ✓Full audit trail with timestamps

Record and print vouchers for every payment — puja samagri, staff salary, festival expenses, maintenance and utility bills. Pre-built expense categories are designed specifically for religious institutions and NGOs, not adapted from business accounting software. Tag expenses to a project or programme for NGO grant utilisation tracking. Every voucher is printable and exportable for your CA.
- ✓18+ pre-built categories for temples, trusts and NGOs
- ✓Printable expense vouchers with authorisation fields

Reports & Insights
Income-expense statements, receipt-payment accounts, donor-wise reports and Form 10BD / 10BE generation — all formatted for your CA and the Income Tax Department. Form 10BD (mandatory from FY 2021–22) lists every donation above ₹2,000 with donor PAN and is due by 31st May each year. Sanstha ERP compiles this automatically from your receipt data. For NGOs, project-wise utilisation reports are generated separately for donor reporting and FCRA returns.
- ✓Form 10BD donor list — auto-compiled, due 31st May
- ✓Form 10BE certificates generated per donor
- ✓Income-expense statement for Section 11 compliance
- ✓Project-wise utilisation reports for NGOs
- ✓One-click audit pack — PDF and Excel export
Bank Reconciliation
Match your donation and expense records against your bank statement every month. Spot unmatched entries instantly — missing deposits, unrecorded payments or timing differences. Give your auditor a reconciled set of accounts, not a guesswork approximation. Supports multiple bank accounts. Reconciliation reports are exportable for your CA with the click of a button.
- ✓Book balance vs bank statement comparison
- ✓Flags unmatched and missing entries
- ✓Multi-account support
- ✓Monthly reconciliation report for CA
- ✓Reduces audit queries significantly
Every feature is built around Indian legal requirements
Sanstha ERP is built by FastLegal Technologies — a legal-tech company. The platform is continuously updated for changes in Income Tax Act requirements, FCRA regulations and trust law.
Section 12AB & 80G
All receipt formats, registration fields and compliance workflows are aligned with the current Section 12AB registration requirements and 80G(5) receipt format mandated by the Income Tax Department.
Form 10BD / 10BE
Mandatory annual donor statement filing from FY 2021–22. Sanstha ERP auto-compiles the full donor list from receipt data. No manual preparation — submit directly from the export.
FCRA 2010 (Amended 2020)
Foreign and domestic contributions are tracked separately. Generate utilisation statements for FCRA annual returns (FC-4). Designed around post-2020 amendment requirements.
Section 11 Compliance
Trusts must apply 85% of income to their objects. Sanstha ERP's income-expense reports track your application ratio and produce the statements your CA needs to confirm Section 11 compliance.
