FCRA registration requires prescribed application, designated bank account, identity verification and meeting statutory eligibility criteria.

Registration and prior permission under the Act require a prescribed application, disclosure of a designated FCRA Account and identity documentation. Eligibility is contingent on substantive conditions addressing bona fides, past convictions or prosecutions relating to conversion, communal tension, diversion of funds, sedition and contraventions of the Act; applicants must demonstrate reasonable activity or present a reasonable project and donor commitment for prior permission. The Central Government may reject non compliant applications, conduct inquiries, require phased receipt of funds, record reasons for refusal and prescribe a fixed validity for certificates, with mandated separate accounts for foreign contributions.
