FCRA Registration | Legomark India
FCRA Registration in India
At LEGOMARK INDIA, we specialize in assisting NGOs, charitable organizations, and trusts in obtaining FCRA Registration. The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) is a legal requirement for non-profit organizations in India that wish to accept foreign donations. This registration ensures compliance with government regulations, allowing your organization to legally receive and utilize foreign funds to support its mission.
We provide expert guidance throughout the FCRA registration process, helping NGOs comply with all necessary regulations and ensuring a seamless experience.
What is FCRA Registration?
FCRA Registration is a government authorization issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) that allows NGOs, trusts, and charitable organizations to legally receive foreign donations. It ensures that foreign funds are used for legitimate purposes and in alignment with government policies.
Once an organization receives FCRA registration, it can legally accept contributions from foreign individuals, organizations, and international funding agencies. This process promotes financial transparency and strengthens the credibility of non-profits.
