Client Background & Early Challenges
Our client, ORRADIIN, is a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping people with rare diseases access better healthcare and faster diagnoses they deserve. They actively work to spread awareness, support research and push for better policies, so that the patients do not have to struggle for their treatment.
In the beginning, ORRADIIN started focusing on reaching more people and started spreading this message. But to continue, they needed steady inflow of funds. More than that, as a non-profit, they had to follow strict legal rules. As they were registered under the Section 8 (NPO) of the Companies Act - proving their financial transparency was key to gaining sponsor's trust. They had to organise and maintain their accounts, meet all the legal requirements and show their financial responsibility to get long-term support from donors for their mission.
MSA stepped in to help ORRADIIN streamline compliance, manage tax disputes, strengthen financial controls, and secure CSR funding - ensuring financial stability, successful audits, and long-term support for their rare disease awareness mission.
Solutions That Delivered Results
To help ORRADIIN establish financial stability and attract funding, we provided custom tax, compliance and financial solutions - specifically designed for non-profits in the healthcare and medical sector.
1. Strengthening Financial Controls
A good financial management always requires a robust internal control system. We created a structured fund accounting system that ensured every donation and CSR contribution was accurately recorded, allocated and reported for compliance.
2. Ensuring CSR Compliance for Corporate Sponsorships
Obtaining CSR funding in India involves strict legal requirements. We assisted ORRADIIN align its financial structure with CSR guidelines, simplifying the process for corporate donors to contribute while meeting their own compliance obligations.
3. Managing Tax Compliance & Dispute Resolution
Handling tax regulations for Section 8 companies can sometimes be a tough task. ORRADIIN faced income tax disallowances for three assessment years. So we prepared and filed appeals, successfully winning two out of three cases, thus reducing their tax burden.
4. Implementing Audit-Ready Financial Reporting
Non-profits must maintain financial transparency to retain donor confidence. We streamlined ORRADIIN's financial reporting framework, so that they passed all regulatory audits and donor due diligence without any delays or other issues.
5. Strengthening Documentation for Funding & Grants
Grant approvals usually require well-structured financial reports. We helped ORRADIIN create an elaborate financial documentation that met funding agencies' requirements, thus speeding up the approvals for grants and increasing the overall funding opportunities.
6. Litigation & Appeals Management for Non-Profits
Tax disputes can eat up on resources if not handled correctly. We represented ORRADIIN in income tax appeals, presenting strong financial justifications that resulted in favourable rulings. This provided a great deal of financial relief for their operations to continue.
7. Budgeting & Forecasting for Long-Term Growth
For the growth to be sustainable in the medical and healthcare field, our client needs structured financial planning. We developed a budgeting and forecasting model that helped ORRADIIN manage their resources efficiently. This way, they could continue expanding their services without financial burden.
8. Strengthening Donor & Sponsor Trust
Most of the large corporate donors and healthcare institutions prefer complete financial transparency. So, we created compliance-driven financial policies for our client, making them eligible for funds from pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and corporate CSR programs.
9. Enabling Smooth Regulatory Filings & Tax Exemptions
NPOs must comply with tax exemptions and regulatory filings to maximise funding opportunities. We took care of ORRADIIN's annual filings, so that they maintained a tax-exempt status and continued receiving financial benefits under Indian non-profit laws.
