Introduction

That’s exactly what Srivani Trust donations under Section 80G offer—an opportunity to contribute towards a noble cause, enjoy VIP Break Darshan at Tirumala, and benefit from tax exemptions.
In this detailed guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know about Srivani Trust Donations, how they help preserve Indian temples, how you can get VIP Darshan, and how Padmavathi Travels can make the entire process smooth and convenient for you.
What is Srivani Trust?
The Sri Venkateswara Aalayala Nirmanam Trust (Srivani Trust) is an initiative by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). Its primary goal is to construct, renovate, and maintain ancient and rural temples across India, especially in areas with limited resources.
Many of these temples are located in tribal, Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Backward Class (BC) dominated regions. The Trust also works to preserve ancient temple architecture, promote religious rituals, and prevent forced conversions by supporting the growth and sustainability of Sanatana Dharma.
Donations to the Srivani Trust go directly toward these initiatives, making every rupee a contribution to preserving India’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
Srivani Trust and VIP Darshan
One of the unique benefits of donating to the Srivani Trust is the eligibility for VIP Break Darshan at Tirumala Temple.
How Does It Work?
- Any individual who donates ₹10,000 or more to the Srivani Trust becomes eligible for one-time VIP Break Darshan of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala.
- This service is known as Srivani Darshan.
- Donors can avoid regular queues and experience a more peaceful, faster, and respectful darshan.
This facility is ideal for:
- Elderly devotees who cannot stand in long lines
- Families with small children
- First-time visitors looking for a structured experience
- Working professionals with limited time
At Padmavathi Travels, we assist in not only facilitating your donation but also booking your VIP darshan slot, arranging your travel, and ensuring a smooth pilgrimage.
Tax Benefits Under Section 80G
In addition to the spiritual benefits, donations to the Srivani Trust are eligible for income tax exemptions under Section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act.
Key Highlights
- Donations above ₹1,000 qualify for 50% deduction under Section 80G.
- This means if you donate ₹10,000, you can claim ₹5,000 as a deduction while filing your income tax return.
- Donations made online automatically generate a digital 80G certificate.
- For offline donations, donors can collect the certificate from the Donor Cell Office at Tirumala.
It is important to note:
- Donations below ₹1,000 are accepted but are not eligible for any tax benefits.
- Individuals are eligible for tax benefits. Companies and firms may or may not qualify depending on their taxation structure.
This makes Srivani Trust donations an excellent way to give back to society while optimizing your annual tax planning.
