Jaya said
@Kundan: You can transfer even to SBI through your axis bank account. Use NEFT.
@Santosh: Can’t you do a wire transfer?
Kundan Kumar said
I can do the wire tranfer? But in that case also i need the account number. As you have mentioned the process of submitting the cheque to *’Chief Minister Relief Fund, Bihar’. Can i use the same account number as what u have metioned at the top (10839124928)?.
Jaya said
Yeah. You can do the wire transfer to the same account. They have mentioned cheque, because that way they can keep track of submitter for 80G benefits. I do not think that is applicable in US.
Rakesh said
All wire transfers and NEFT transfers can be credited to the same A/c number (10839124928, SBI Patna Secretariat Branch, Patna). Any online banking account allows the facility. Keep record of your online transfer to enable 80G benefits (Only for people paying tax in India).

I want to give some clothes for the victims of this devastating flood. I am in Chandigarh . Is there an agency/NGO here in Chandigarh I can give these clothes to who can send it to the needy in Bihar? Suggest how else can I send clothing.
Thanks
Jaya said
@Pragnesh: Employer can give a certificate to the employees stating that so much amount has been deposited in this fund on behalf of that employee. That certificate can be used to get 80G benefits. Also, if you are deducting it directly from the salary, it should reflect in the salary slip too.
@Venkat: This is the chief minister’s account. Nobody other than govt. can guarantee anything. If you would rather have it reach to beneficiaries immediately, you can donate it through NGOs working on ground. For exmaple Prayaas.
@Shantanu: We are not in touch with any NGOs in Chandigarh yet.
If you can ship it to Patna directly, here are couple of addresses:
Cloths can be send directly to Red Cross Patna. You can send Relief Material to Red Cross, Patna at following address:
Mr. S.P. Singh, IAS (Retd.)
Honorary Director
Bihar State BranchIndian Red Cross Society
North of Gandhi Maidan
Patna – 800001
Phone No: 0612 -2201035/6/7; 2226267
