File your FC-6 or pay penalty

FCRA Department is now levying heavy penalties for not filing FC-6 before due date. Therefore make sure your FC-6 is filed online by 31^st December 2013.

If you are sending it by registered post, make sure you have the latest address (NDCC Building). Do write ‘For FCRA Wing’ on the envelope.

Also keep the proof of posting with you for future. This will be needed if your FC-6 does not reach FCRA Department.

Remember that you must file a ‘nil’ return even if you do not receive anything. This only applies to NGOs who have FCRA registration or prior-permission

File your FC-7 and FC-8 also

FCRA rules are not clear about filing of nil FC-7 and FC-8. Apparently, penalty can be imposed for not filing a nil FC-7 or FC-8.

Therefore, even if you have not received any material or shares from a foreign source, file a nil FC-7 and FC-8 along with CA certificate. Send these by registered post before 31^st December.

FCRA goes critical

The FCRA Department has strengthened its review and inspection procedures. Notices are being issued to NGOs and others if a violation is suspected. A list of about 30 questions is sent along with the notice, asking for various details and documents. If the response is not satisfactory, the NGO may be called to Delhi with records and documents. In some cases, an inspection team may visit the NGO.
