Registered as a Trust in India, with an independent Board of Trustees, AIF adheres to strict financial and  governance standards, ensuring transparency, accountability, and responsible management of resources. As per  statutory mandates, AIF is registered under 80G and 12A. These registrations and certifications are tangible  evidence of the organization's existence, credibility, and compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory  frameworks while demonstrating a firm commitment to its vision and mission.
