About FCRA Registration
An NGO, trust or society must hold FCRA registration before it can legally accept donations or grants from foreign sources — without it, foreign funds cannot be received at all. We prepare the application against the organisation's three-year activity and financial track record.
Licences are issued by different departments with different portals. We check eligibility first, so you only apply for what your business actually needs.
