The FCRA regulations aim to ensure that foreign funds do not overshadow India's local charitable initiatives. While legitimate social, educational, and medical activities are encouraged, access to foreign money is regulated to maintain the integrity of social discourse. India's charitable sector has the potential to raise sufficient funds domestically for various causes. To receive foreign contributions, organizations must comply with established regulations. This overview provides insights into the FCRA framework and its implications for registered NPOs in India.

Statement of Intent The regulations have been so framed that while legitimate charitable social, educational, medical and activity that serves any public purpose is allowed, foreign money does not dominate social and political discourse in India. There is enough money for charity within India. Enough money can be raised within India for charitable causes, the social causes. But, if you want to access foreign money, then one has to come under a system of regulation. - Hon. Minister for Home Affairs, RajyaSabha, 23-Aug-10
