FCRA Registration
FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) is an Act of the Indian Government that regulates the acceptance and utilization of foreign contributions or donations by individuals, associations, or organizations in India. It aims to ensure that foreign funds do not influence or interfere with the political, social, or economic environment of India.
To receive foreign contributions legally, an organization must obtain FCRA registration from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). This ensures transparency and proper utilization of funds for the intended purposes.
