The Odisha government has announced the upcoming launch of the 'E-Hundi' online donation service for the Puri Jagannath Temple, aimed at enhancing the convenience for devotees wishing to contribute. This digital initiative will allow millions of devotees, both in India and abroad, to make donations remotely, thereby making the process more accessible and transparent. State Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandan confirmed that donations will be processed through the 'Samarpan App', with all funds going directly into the temple's official account. These contributions will be allocated for the development, maintenance, and welfare of the temple and its devotees. Additionally, donors will benefit from tax deductions as per the Income Tax Law. The government is also implementing strict cybersecurity measures to ensure a safe and foolproof online donation system. The 'E-Hundi' service is expected to be operational within this month, marking a significant step towards modernizing the donation process at one of India's most revered temples.
