United Nations – India has reaffirmed its commitment to the United Nations by making a timely contribution of USD 37.64 million towards the UN Regular Budget for 2025. The country joins a select group of 35 member states that have paid their full assessments within the 30-day due period stipulated by UN financial regulations.

The UN Committee on Contributions confirmed that India successfully met its financial obligations by remitting the payment on January 31, 2025. This punctual contribution places India on the UN’s “honour roll”—a recognition for nations that uphold their financial commitments to the global body without delays.
