⌖  Registrations & Incorporations

FCRA Registration.

Receive foreign contributions legally, with credibility on both sides of the border.

The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 regulates how foreign funds enter India. Any NGO, Trust or Society that intends to accept donations or grants from foreign individuals, companies or international organisations must obtain FCRA Registration from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Effectively a licence for global fundraising — and the basis for transparency, compliance and credibility with foreign donors.
