Donate to any Indian temple by SMS -- and get a receipt

The group has come out with software that will make it easy for any devout person to make a simple offering to the donation box — on SMS. This is different from the pooja services that are being offered by various mobile phone companies to their customers. Those are city-specific and have their limitations.

However, when this particular “offering” service gets going, anyone can donate sums from Rs 11 to Rs 251 (it is being capped at that figure because the service is being provided with the masses in mind) to any temple or place of worship from anywhere in the country and instantly receive an acknowledgement and receipt number on SMS. A hard copy of the receipt can be had from the temple, if the devotee so wishes, on production of the SMS acknowledgement with the receipt number.

This looks like it will be a pretty popular service when it gets going.
