FCRA Registration
Legally Receive Foreign Donations with FCRA Registration for Your NGO
If your NGO, trust, or nonprofit wishes to receive foreign contributions or donations, obtaining FCRA Registration is mandatory. Regulated by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India, FCRA ensures transparency and accountability in the receipt and utilization of foreign funds by organizations operating for charitable, religious, educational, or social purposes.
We assist NGOs, charitable trusts, and Section 8 companies in obtaining and managing their FCRA registration, enabling them to access foreign support legally and efficiently.
What is FCRA Registration?
FCRA stands for the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010. It governs the acceptance and utilization of foreign contributions or foreign hospitality by Indian individuals, associations, or companies.
Any organization seeking to receive foreign funds must be:
- Registered under FCRA, or
- Have prior permission from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA)
There are two types of FCRA registration:
- FCRA Permanent Registration – For NGOs active for at least 3 years, with substantial track record and expenditure on charitable activities.
- FCRA Prior Permission – For newly registered NGOs seeking foreign contribution for a specific purpose or project.
Who Needs FCRA Registration?
- NGOs, Charitable Trusts, and Societies receiving donations from abroad
- Section 8 Companies engaging in social or religious programs
- Organizations working in fields like education, health, environment, child welfare, and women's empowerment
Without valid FCRA approval, receiving foreign funds is strictly prohibited and penalized under Indian law.
