    Solution

    According to the Social Stock Exchange Framework issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs)  are allowed to raise funds  mainly through :  

    • Zero-Coupon Zero-Principal (ZCZP) bonds  
    • Donations  and  Grants  via Mutual fund schemes  
      These instruments  d o not provide ownership  and d o not  create  repayment  obligation  and as such are s uit ed to the  non-profit nature  of the NPOs.     The framework specifically excludes  Equity  as a source of raising funds as  eq uity implies ownership/ shareholding  and  NPOs have no owners or shareholders .
