FCRA Registration: Accept Foreign Donations Legally

To receive any foreign contribution or donation, an NGO must obtain FCRA Registration from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). This license ensures that foreign funds are utilized for their intended social, educational, or religious purposes without compromising national security.

Types of FCRA Licenses

Depending on the age and track record of your organization, you can apply for one of two types of permissions:

FCRA Registration

For NGOs active for at least 3 years. It is valid for 5 years and allows for continuous foreign funding within the registered scope.

Prior Permission

For newly registered NGOs. It is project-specific and allows the organization to receive a specific amount from a specific donor.

Mandatory Eligibility Criteria

The MHA follows strict guidelines for granting FCRA certificates. Your NGO must meet the following:

  • Registration Status: Must be registered as a Section 8 Company, Trust, or Society.
  • SBI FCRA Account: Mandatory "FCRA Account" opened at the State Bank of India, New Delhi Main Branch (NDMB).
  • Utilization Record: Must have spent at least ₹15 Lakhs on its core objectives in the last 3 financial years.
