Why Corporate Sponsors Require Formal Invoices

Large enterprise sponsors cannot write a ₹1,00,000 cheque to an individual student's savings account. They require formal documentation for their accounting departments:

  • **Proforma Invoices**: Stating exact deliverables, festival dates, and bank account details.
  • **Institutional Account Routing**: Channeling funds through the university student welfare fund or society trust.
  • **TDS and GST Certificates**: Clarifying tax exemptions under university educational trust statutes.
