Extension of the validity of FCRA registration certificates
In continuation of Ministry of Home Affairs’ Public Notice No. II/21022/23(22)/2020- FCRA-III, Dated 27.12.2024, the Central Government, in public interest, has decided to extend the validity of FCRA registration certificates of the following categories of FCRA registered entities:
(i) The validity of registration certificates of such entities whose validity was extended till 31 .03.2025 in terms of the public Notice dated 27.12.2024 and whose renewal application is pending, will stand extended till 30.06.2025 or till the date of disposal of renewal application, whichever is earlier.
(ii) The validity of those FCRA entities whose 5 years validity period is expiring during 01.04.2025 to 30.06.2025 and who have applied/will apply for renewal before expiry of 5 years validity period, will stand extended up to 30.06.2025 or till the date of disposal of renewal application, whichever is earlier.
2. All FCRA registered associations are therefore advised to note that in case the application for renewal of the certificate of registration is refused, the validity of the certificate shall be deemed to have expired on the date of refusal of the application for renewal, and the association shall not be eligible either to receive the foreign contribution or utilise the foreign contribution received.
3. This issues with the approval of the competent Authority. All concerned may take note of the above decision and take appropriate action in the matter.
