For programmes conducted in public interest by philanthropic and charitable institutions the Nigamagamam allows concession depending upon the merits of each case.
The rentals are fixed by the Management bearing in mind that the Nigamagamam is part of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, a renowned organization of public charity founded by Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The tariff rates fixed are well within the reach of persons belonging to middle and lower middle class families. Expenditure for a marriage elsewhere is comparatively large.
