Dear All,The IPSS CANNOT receive foreign money. We do not have a specific permission under FCRA. It would be best if we get them to pay either the organizers (Pune team in this case, through any of their registered commercial entities) directly or we get them to pay vendors. If these options ( or something similar) are not possible, please drop the idea.
why do you think we should drop the idea ? , the conversations i had here in Delhi were also on same lines but looks like there is a provision to receive with a temporary certificate , i think we should pursue this since this will bite us again and again every year.
yes i am aware it takes three years to the FCRA certificate etc...
i will be digging more info by Thursday also i need to know more info about the amount and the company to have a context . send the info as convenient in pvt or public .
