A business measures profit. A charity measures stewardship: did money given for one purpose get spent on that purpose? That requires separate funds, so a grant for a school building is never used for salaries unless the agreement allows it.
Every receipt and expense carries a fund tag. At any time the trustees can see what remains in each fund, what has been spent and what is committed, which donors usually ask for and which regulators expect during scrutiny.
Trusts and societies seeking income-tax exemption must maintain books and receipts in the manner required for their registration and file periodic returns. Donation receipts must show the details the rules require, and donor records must be retained.
If foreign contributions are received, a separate designated bank account and separate books are mandatory. We maintain these books and prepare the periodic reports, while registration and renewal applications are handled through our trust and NGO registration service.
| Fund type | Example | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Restricted grant | Project grant for a school | Separate fund, utilisation certificate |
| Corpus | Endowment or building fund | Kept apart, not spent on revenue costs |
| General fund | Unrestricted donations | Used for administration and programmes |
| Foreign contribution | FCRA receipts | Separate bank account and returns |

in View LinkedIn profileDonors give for a stated purpose and may ask for a report showing the money was used for it. A separate fund for each grant makes the report simple, prevents mixing and protects the trust if a donor, auditor or regulator asks for proof of utilisation.
Yes. We prepare the statement of receipts and expenses for the grant period from the fund records, reconcile it to the bank and prepare the utilisation certificate in the format the donor prescribes. Where the donor needs a CA's signature, the CA reviews and signs it.
Registration, renewal, 12A, 80G and FCRA applications are handled through our separate Trust and NGO registration service, which has its own page and fee table. Accounting under this plan keeps the books ready, so those applications and returns can be filed without delay.
