FCRA Registration

Introduction

The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2013, governs the acceptance and utilization of foreign contributions or hospitality by individuals, associations, or companies. FCRA registration is a mandatory compliance for NGOs and non-profits in India intending to receive foreign donations. This regulation is designed to ensure that such contributions do not adversely affect national interest and are used for the intended charitable or social purpose.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FCRA COMPLIANCE

Adherence to FCRA regulations is not merely a legal requirement but a cornerstone for establishing credibility and trust among international donors and partners. It enables organizations to diversify their funding sources, tapping into global support for their causes. Non-compliance can lead to stringent penalties, including fines and prohibition from accepting foreign funding, which underscores the importance of proper registration and management of foreign funds.
