Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 alongwith Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 1976, Rules & Regulations

This comprehensive edition brings together the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 alongside the FCRA, 1976, the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Rules, 2011, subsequent amendment notifications (including the 2020 rule amendments) and key Ministry of Home Affairs circulars and FAQs. Structured for ease of use, the book provides consolidated statutory texts, annotated commentary, a precise timeline of amendments, and labelled cross-references to forms and online procedures on the FCRA portal. Practical sections explain registration vs. prior-permission, time-limited certificates, donor documentation, permissible utilisation, restrictions (including political/“public order” considerations), the requirement and operation of designated FCRA accounts, reporting and audit obligations, and grounds for cancellation or suspension. Each chapter closes with a compliance checklist and template forms to streamline application and renewal processes. Indexed for rapid lookup, and written with a practitioner focus, this volume is indispensable for NGOs, lawyers advising on foreign funding, compliance officers, auditors and government officers responsible for implementation. It clarifies transitional issues from the 1976 framework to the consolidated 2010 regime and helps organisations avoid common non-compliance pitfalls.
