Abstract
This paper attempts to identify and evaluate the current situation of zakat collection, distribution and management in India. This paper identifies the inherent objectives of zakat to understand the real potential of zakat institutions and how zakat is important to Indian Muslims and how the society can innovate and modernise the zakat system. This paper suggests a few recommendations that religious leaders and government authorities in India may consider adopting. It suggests the introduction of a mosque card as an innovative way of distributing zakat by integrating mosques and their local community.
