We came across a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RC-2Zhm7tm8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a> from May 6 by the Bangladeshi newspaper The Daily Star on their YouTube channel. The title in Bengali can be translated as: &#8220;19 sacks in 8 donation boxes of Pagla Masjid&#8221;.

The video also mentioned that the mosque opened its donation boxes once every three months to count the amount.

Foreign currency coins and gold ornaments were also found in the donation box. More than 200 people, including district-level officials, members of the mosque, the assistant general manager of Rupali Bank, more than 100 students of Hafizia Madrasa and some teachers, participated in the counting of 19 sacks of money.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, in January, Pagla Masjid received 4,18,16,744 taka through donation boxes. Bengali newspaper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anandabazar.com\/world\/pagla-masjid-of-bangladesh-has-got-20-sacksful-of-money-in-the-donation-box-dgtl\/cid\/1397638\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anandabazaar Patrika<\/a> reported it.<\/p>\n<p>Pagla Masjid is situated on the banks of Narsunda River in Kishoreganj, it is a popular mosque in Bangladesh. Believing that their wishes will be fulfilled if they pray at this mosque, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalerkantho.com\/english\/online\/national\/2023\/05\/06\/52599\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">people from all religions and castes donate<\/a> generously here.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the video that is being circulated with communal claims in India is originally from Bangladesh. The viral claims that the money is unaccounted for or taken from a temple are misleading.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the claim that only temples have to pay tax while mosques and other religious bodies are exempted from the same is false. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thequint.com\/news\/webqoof\/temples-only-pay-taxes-in-india-fact-check#read-more#read-more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fact-check report<\/a> by The Quint, since religious places are often managed by trusts, any income earned from renting out the property for functions or the sale of products or other uses is taxable. To get the exemptions, the trust needs to be registered under Section 12AA of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Thus, provisions for exemptions and taxation exist across religions and not just in the case of temples or mosques.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video is being shared on social media where a few men wearing skull caps can be seen transferring money from what looks like a donation box to some sacks.
