New Asha South India Registration
Till recently Asha India was doing all its operations as Asha Trust registered in New Delhi and headquarterd in Varanasi. To balance the accounting load we have registered one more trust in the name of Asha South India headquartered in Chennai. Asha South India has all the registrations required (80G, 12A, CSR etc.) to receive donations in India and do its charitable works. Asha Chennai is moving its Indian donations to the new Asha South India trust. All the below methods of Indian donations will now be processed through Asha South India trust. In a couple of years, we will also be moving our FCRA operations to the new trust.
