FCRA Registration — Foreign funds, properly received.
Registration and prior permission under the foreign contribution framework, together with the account, utilisation and reporting discipline that receiving foreign funds requires.
Book Free ConsultationReceiving foreign contribution is one of the most closely regulated things an Indian voluntary organisation can do. Registration is only the entry point; what follows is a continuing regime covering where the money is received, how it is held, how it is used and how it is reported.
N D Savla & Associates assists organisations in Nashik and across Maharashtra with registration and prior permission applications and with the compliance that follows.
The rules on the designated account and on mixing funds are strict and unforgiving. Foreign contribution must be received into the designated account and kept separate from domestic funds, and a single misdirected receipt can create a problem out of all proportion to its size.
