FCRA registration is the only lawful route for a non-profit to accept foreign contributions under the FCRA 2010.
Registration opens the door to international funders, foreign foundations and overseas donors otherwise barred from contributing to the organisation.
An FCRA certificate remains valid for five years and is renewable, providing a stable basis for long-term foreign funding.
Compliance with FCRA's reporting and designated-account rules signals transparency that reassures foreign donors and grant agencies.
Foreign funds are routed through the mandated SBI New Delhi main branch account, giving clear, regulated traceability of every contribution.
