摘要：Introduction: The impact of the Zakat system on human welfare is well established. In India,there is a significant development in terms of localised management of zakat system. However,the targeted delivery of zakat funds,unorganised collections and lack of transparency remain a matter of concern. There is no formal institutional mechanism for efficient Zakat distribution,and problems of circularity are at mostly affecting the progress of welfare mechanisms. Problems of circularity of Zakat funds are still,largely,incoherent and practically disconnected with the mechanics of philanthropic institutions. Purpose/Objective Study: This paper aims to develop a conceptual model for integrating zakat funds with crowdfunding platform in India. Design/Methodology/Approach: we attempt to conceptualize the problem in zakat funds circularity. Subsequently,we attempt to put up the conceptual model of crowdfunding and integrate with zakat delivery mechanism. Lastly,we provide the relevance of this particular model in the context of India and conclude with the implications of the proposed model. Findings: The findings of this research we expect to bring transparency in zakat fund circulation in the country through the integration of zakat funds with internet-enabled crowdfunding. In order to bring transparency,there is a need to reform the zakat institutions. It supposed to reduce the socio-economic backwardness of Muslims through the use of zakat funds for productive purposes. Paper Type: Research Article.
