IN ORDER TO RECEIVE DONATIONS THE TRUST MUST BE REGISTERED UNDER THE FCRA ACT, WITHOUT WHICH YOU WILL ATTRACT GOVERNMENT ACTION FOR CONTRAVENTION OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE ACT.

1. What is the procedure for FCRA registration?
2. Whether Regn of a society / trust with charity commissionor will automatically cover FCRA Act?
3. Whether smaller amounts ( USD 100) by individuals also attract FCRA?
4. what is the minimum amount we can recieve without FCRA registration?
