NGO management software — frequently asked questions
What is Sevastack?
Sevastack is NGO management software built for Indian NGOs, public charitable trusts, societies, and Section 8 companies. It combines a donor CRM, automatic 80G receipts, Form 10BD/10BE filing data, FCRA tracking, CSR proposals and utilization certificates, NGO accounting with a CA portal, HR and payroll, volunteer and beneficiary management in a single platform. There is a free plan, and donations go directly to the NGO's own bank account with zero platform fee.
Which compliance filings does Sevastack cover for Indian NGOs?
Sevastack covers 80G receipt issuance with QR verification, Form 10BD donation statements and Form 10BE certificates for donors, FCRA FC-4 annual return tracking with foreign contribution reports, CSR-1 and utilization certificates for corporate donors, TDS registers with challan tracking, and audit-ready financial statements (Receipts & Payments, Income & Expenditure, Balance Sheet) for ITR-7. Deadline alerts are sent 30 days in advance.
Does Sevastack replace Tally or Excel for NGO accounting?
Yes for fund accounting and statutory reporting. Sevastack auto-generates the Receipts & Payments Account, Income & Expenditure Account, and Balance Sheet from your donations, expenses, and payroll data, maintains a fixed asset register with WDV and SLM depreciation, keeps a TDS register, and supports bank reconciliation. Your auditor gets a read-only CA portal link and a sign-ready PDF package instead of a folder of spreadsheets.
How does the CSR proposal and utilization certificate workflow work?
You create a CSR proposal where AI drafts the executive summary, purpose statement, and impact narrative from your actual project budgets and metrics. The proposal PDF is emailed to the company with 80G, 12A, FCRA, CSR-1 certificates and audited financials attached. When funds arrive, they are tracked against the project. At the end, Sevastack auto-calculates the utilization and issues a formal utilization certificate with dual signatures from your NGO and your CA.
Does Sevastack charge a commission on donations?
No. Donations collected through your Sevastack donation page via UPI, Razorpay, NEFT, or QR code settle directly into your NGO's own bank account. Sevastack takes zero platform fee on cash or goods donations; only the payment gateway's own charges apply.
Can Sevastack handle HR and payroll for NGO staff?
Yes. Sevastack maintains an employee register with PAN, Aadhaar, and bank details, runs monthly payroll with PF, ESI, and TDS breakdowns, generates payslips for every employee, tracks casual, sick, and earned leave with self-service requests, and processes reimbursement claims with receipt uploads and an approval workflow. Salary costs flow into the financial statements automatically.
Where is NGO data stored and how is it secured?
Data is stored on AWS servers in the Mumbai region, in India. Access is controlled by role-based permissions across five role levels, and every action is written to an audit log recording the user, the action, and the timestamp. Connections are encrypted in transit, and each NGO's data is isolated to its own organisation.
Is there a free plan, and what does it include?
Yes. The free plan covers the donor CRM, donation recording, automatic 80G receipts, and project tracking for up to 50 donors, 2 projects, 25 volunteers, 50 beneficiaries, and 2 team members, with 500 MB of storage. Paid plans add online payment gateway integration, CSR proposals and utilization certificates, accounting with the CA portal and financial statements, HR and payroll, and higher limits.
All features above are available on the free plan or affordable paid plans.
Why a purpose-built platform beats a generic CRM
Most NGO management software sold in India is generic CRM or accounting software with a donor field bolted on. Sevastack is different — it is built specifically around how Indian trusts, societies, and Section 8 companies actually operate.
Donor management and fundraising come with automatic 80G receipt generation baked into every payment, not added as an afterthought. FCRA compliance, Form 10BD and Form 10BE filing, and TDS tracking run on the same rails as your daily donation entries, so year-end filing stops being a scramble.
NGO accounting software here means Receipts & Payments, Income & Expenditure, and Balance Sheet statements that are already audit-ready and Tally-compatible, instead of spreadsheets your CA has to reformat. Beneficiary management software tracks households, programs, and disbursements the way field teams and program officers actually record them.
Volunteer and HR management, a CA portal for your auditor, and REST API access round out the platform — replacing the five or six disconnected tools most NGOs juggle today with one system that already understands Indian compliance.
