I have an NGO and an FCRA registration. I would like to accept foreign donations, but they asked for an international gateway. Who can provide international gateways for NGOs?

Happy to know that you have the FCRA certificate enabling you to accept international donations.

There are any number of international payment gateways that enable transfer of money from one to another as you might have already seen and through on Google search.

However I strongly recommend that you meet with an experienced CA in this area before you start accepting international donations. You may also interact with big NGOs operating in India who have been accepting international donations for many years to understand in depth the whole subject.

FCRA guidelines have been revised recently and are more strict and stringent than ever in the past. One such condition is to have a separate bank account to receive your international donations. And filing of details related to such donations. This is to be viewed in the context of millions of foreign currency donations received by NGOs in India every year but not much info or records are available about where and how they have been used.

The government has put the info reg FCRA guidelines online. It is very detailed and straight
