Temple Trusts Now Accept UPI Donations: Is FinTech Changing Faith-Based Giving?

Vizzve Admin

India’s temples—timeless symbols of faith, tradition, and community—are undergoing a quiet revolution.

From Tirupati to Siddhivinayak, many major temple trusts now accept UPI payments for everything from:

Donations and aartis

Annadanam (free meals)

Sevas and online darshan bookings

What was once a physical act—offering a ₹10 note in a hundi—has now become a digital tap on your phone.

But here’s the real question:
Is FinTech quietly transforming how we give, connect, and support our faith?
Let’s decode this with Vizzve Finance.

📱 Faith Meets FinTech: The Rise of Digital Donations

Temples that once operated entirely in cash are now adopting:

UPI QR codes at entrances and donation counters

Online portals for donations with tax exemption (80G)

Digital receipts and aarti booking confirmations on WhatsApp

Donation dashboards to track monthly contributions

🔍 Real Stats:

Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) received ₹200+ crores via UPI in FY 2024-25

Over 1500 temples across India now accept QR-based donations

Tax-exempt e-receipts help donors maintain clean digital records
