FCRA Renewal – No Response?

FCRA registrations granted before May-11 will expire on 30-Apr-16. FCRA rules call on NGOs to file their renewal application 6-12 months in advance. Therefore, many NGOs have already applied for renewal using paper FC-5. FCRA Department is trying to move this process online since Jun’15, when draft rules were announced. Therefore, the paper applications have not been processed so far.

People who have already filed paper FC-5 should now wait till they hear from FCRA Department. If the Department asks them to file the application again online, then that’s what they should do.
