FCRA Registration

FCRA Registration, governed by the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010, is mandatory for associations and NGOs in India that wish to receive foreign contributions. This registration ensures that foreign funds are utilized for legitimate purposes and do not adversely affect national interests. Organizations must meet specific eligibility criteria, including being registered under relevant acts and demonstrating a track record of activities. The application process is online through the Ministry of Home Affairs portal, requiring detailed documentation and adherence to strict compliance norms for a valid five-year period.
