The India Committee of the Netherlands is a foundation with five paid staff members supported by several enthusiastic volunteers. Members of the Board and the Advisory Council are all unpaid.

Each year after consultation with staff and the Advisory Council, the ICN board determines the policy, budget and financial statements for the coming year. The Board meets about six times a year and the Advisory Council four times. Board, Advisory Council and staff meet once a year for a day to discuss the strategy on themes and available budget. Every five years a multi-annual strategic plan is defined.
