What it is and how we handle it
FCRA compliance is strict: administrative expenses are capped at 20% of foreign contributions, sub-granting to other NGOs is prohibited, office bearers must provide Aadhaar, and changes in key details must be reported. The FCRA (Amendment) Rules, 2026, effective 22 June 2026, added further reporting obligations that we build into your calendar.
We prepare the registration or prior-permission application, open and link the FCRA account, set up separate books, and handle renewals well before expiry.
