Get Legally Eligible to Receive Foreign Donations with Hassle-Free FCRA Registration
Foreign funding plays a major role in enabling NGOs, trusts, Section 8 companies, and social-purpose organisations to scale their initiatives. However, before receiving any international donation or grant, it is mandatory to obtain approval under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). This legal certification ensures that overseas contributions are used only for genuine charitable, developmental, educational, or humanitarian purposes.
The FCRA registration process involves detailed scrutiny by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), strict compliance documentation, eligibility checks, and continuous reporting obligations. Our expert team ensures smooth end-to-end guidance—right from eligibility evaluation and documentation to application filing and post-approval compliance management—helping your organisation stay legally protected while accessing global funding opportunities.

FCRA Certificate Registration is a statutory approval required by NGOs and not-for-profit entities to legally receive foreign contributions or donations from outside India. Without an FCRA certificate, accepting any foreign grant or funding is treated as a violation, leading to strict penalties and cancellation of registration.
