Is this for real?

"This facility has been provided solely for the convenience of Indian citizens who desire to support our work. It should not be seen as soliciting of funds in any way."

Why would anyone think a website created for soliciting of funds, be viewed as a web site for soliciting of funds?....

"Please give us money" but also "don't view this as soliciting funds in any way"

We tell you both what to do and how to think about what we tell you to do ...

Do you think that they really mean this [the highlighted portion]? Or is this a case of invisible subtext: "when and as such relief is accomplished by the advent of God's kingdom, following our 'charitable' witnessing work."

but interesting regarding the financial system in India today...

Without warning Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced that the existing 500 and 1,000 rupee banknotes (equivalent US$7.50 and US$15.00) will be withdrawn from the financial system TONIGHT.

Letter 21 March 2016 - Re: Donations to “Jehovah’s Witnesses of India”
Since November 2000, our preaching work in India has been under financial restrictions. These restrictions prevent foreign donors and institutions from sending contributions to the legal entities used for the Kingdom work in India. Hence, the India branch continues to depend on the support of those who are Indian citizens to care for special pioneers, the translation of literature into various Indian languages, and the construction of Kingdom Halls throughout the country.
We are pleased to inform you that publishers with Indian passports who wish to donate towards the Kingdom work in India may be able to do so using the www.jwindiagift.org website.
