NGO & Legal Advisory

FCRA Registration

Get your NGO or trust registered under FCRA to legally receive foreign contributions โ€” complete application, documentation, and compliance support.

Overview

What is FCRA Registration?

The Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) governs the receipt of foreign donations by Indian organisations. Any NGO, trust, society, or institution that wishes to receive foreign contributions must obtain FCRA registration from the Ministry of Home Affairs. FCRA registration is a lengthy and document-intensive process that requires the organisation to be at least 3 years old with a track record of charitable activities. Calcutta Corporate handles the complete FCRA application, documentation, and compliance.
