Legal Status
ISSI is a registered non-profit
organization under the Indian
Public Trust Act; Regd. No. 39/86, dated 13th
March, 1986. We are also registered to
receive tax-deductible foreign funds
under the
Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India.
A special note to our donors in the
United States: ISSI is not
currently a 501(c)3 organization. At the
moment we are trying to figure out if it
is a viable idea for a small
non-profit like ours to expend our
limited resources to register as a
non-profit in the US.
