Whether a NRI can Make Donations to any resident in India ? Will it Fall under FEMA or FCRA ?



Whether a NRI can Make Donations to any resident in India ? Will it Fall under FEMA or FCRA ?

A NRI can make donation to an Indian or any institution in India. There is no restriction for such donation either in FEMA or in FCRA.  For instances, many temples have online donation facility for a  NRI to pay donation from his NRE account or in foreign exchange.

Further, donation received from a NRI in foreign currency is not a foreign contribution if the NRI holds a valid Indian passport

For a .NRI (Non-Resident Indians) donors who are Indian citizens having an Indian passport and he can make donations to any one in India and he has to quote his passport number as this is because their contribution goes into a separate account as per the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, (FCRA), 1976.

How much a Indian Resident can make as a gift to a resident outside India or donation to a foreign charitable institution?


Any resident individual, if he so desires, may remit the entire limit of USD 200,000 in one financial year under LRS as gift to a person residing outside India or as donation to a charitable/educational/ religious/cultural organization outside India.  Remittances exceeding the limit of USD 200,000 will require prior permission from the Reserve Bank.
