Donate for Martyrs of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF)

To donate specifically to the families of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) martyrs, the most secure and government-approved channel is the Bharat Ke Veer portal (bharatkeveer.gov.in). This portal is managed by the Ministry of Home Affairs and ensures your contribution reaches the Next of Kin (NoK) of the bravehearts without any middlemen.

The CRPF is India's largest Central Armed Police Force (CAPF), deployed in the most sensitive conflict zones like Kashmir (Counter-Insurgency) and Chhattisgarh (Anti-Naxal Operations). Since CRPF is a paramilitary force and not part of the "Army" (Defence), donations made to the Army Welfare Fund or National Defence Fund do not directly reach CRPF families. The Bharat Ke Veer corpus was created specifically to bridge this gap for CAPF personnel.

Note: There is a contribution cap of 15 Lakhs per family. If a specific family has already received this amount, the system will not accept more funds for them. In such cases, please choose another martyr or donate to the "Bharat Ke Veer Corpus Fund."

4. Make the Payment

Click I would like to contribute.
Enter the amount (Minimum 10).
Fill in your Name, Email, Mobile, and PAN Number.
Complete the transaction via UPI, Net Banking, or Credit Card.

5. Download Certificate

After payment, you can immediately download a signed Certificate of Contribution. This certificate is valid proof for claiming tax deductions.

Alternative: The Corpus Fund
If you cannot decide on a specific individual, you can donate to the Bharat Ke Veer Corpus Fund.

• This fund is managed by a committee of senior government officials and eminent citizens.
• It provides immediate financial aid to families of fresh casualties (e.g., immediately after a major attack) before their individual profiles are uploaded to the site.

Things to Watch Out For

• Fake UPI Scams: After major attacks like Pulwama, scammers circulate fake UPI IDs like crpf-welfare@upi on WhatsApp. Never use these. The CRPF does not collect donations via personal UPI handles.
• Private Crowdfunding Sites: While sites like Ketto or Milaap are legitimate, they may deduct a "platform fee." The government portal (Bharat Ke Veer) has zero administrative fees; 100% of your money goes to the cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is my donation tax-free?
A: Yes. Contributions to Bharat Ke Veer are eligible for 100% deduction under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act (mostly under the Old Tax Regime).

Q: Can I donate to the "CRPF Veer Parivar" app?
A: The "CRPF Veer Parivar" app is primarily an interface for the families (NoK) to track their benefits and grievances. For public donations, the authorized gateway remains Bharat Ke Veer.
