Dear Client, Foreign grants to Indian Government Institutions are primarily regulated by the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 (FCRA). Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) comes into picture where foreign exchange transactions are involved. Government research institutions must also comply with their own governing statues, finance rules and conditions attached to it. The exact regulatory requirement for different institutions depend on its nature and the source of funding. Please reach out to us for further queries. Thank you.
