Any person, anywhere in the world, who is a well wisher of India can become a PFL member.

Members of PFL can stand for office within the organization. Members can vote to elect PFL office bearers at the National and Chapter levels. Membership can also be considered to be a form of donation to PFL.
More importantly, members hold flagpost of PFL and will be proud sponsors of the change in governance India deserves. Members will have firsthand knowledge of the leaders in PFL and LSP who are dedicated and have the best qualities to lead the Nation. By becoming a member you will be directly supporting the credible and selfless leaders being nurtured by PFL and LSP to run the country in the future.

Members are responsible to up-hold the vision and mission of People for Lok Satta. Members should not misuse the identity of PFL membership to generate monetary benefits for personal use. Members should have highest moral and ethical standards when they hold the PFL membership.

All funds (donations, membership fees) raised for PFL by the chapters will be transferred to Central level. 30% of the money remains at the Central level for expenditures decided at Central Level and the rest is again allocated to those particular chapters where the money is raised from. The chapters can avail their allocated share, whenever they need it for their activities.

PFL membership team will send you monthly news letter and intermittent updates on the functioning and events of the organization. You will also be part of the local PFL chapter and will be invited for the events within the Chapter.

To cover the expenses incurred to spread the awareness of Lok Satta all over the world. Lok Satta cannot spend its funds to create awareness of the party outside India. So, PFL fills this gap.

Also, well-wishers of Lok Satta who are not Indian citizens cannot donate to Lok Satta. So they can choose donate to PFL instead, if they want to be part of Lok Satta movement.
