Due to formation of Telangana would NGOs need to apply for change in address.

Dear All,

In case of FCRA, the authorities insist on applying in form FC-3 in case the registered office is shifted from one district to another or to another state to validate the changes. This may be on account of some coding that is followed by the MoHA while issuing the registration number.

I would like to know in that case whether the NGOs currently having the registered offices in the newly created state of Telangana will have to undergo the same process. Technically, the state has changed and hence the coding is bound to change.

I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks and regards,

B V Soma Sastry

    Sorry for late response.

    I do not think this is required. Even from our experiences with other states when newly created (Uttrakhand & Jharkhand), this was not asked by the FCRA Dept.

    Procedure for intimating change of address is to be followed:
    1. All Telangana NGOs need to act with respect to both office and Bank address.
    2. As there is no change in the name of the residual state AP NGOs
    continue at the same addresses.
    3. Bank account numbers in Telangana may change only if each State is given a code number and the same is included in either the branch code and / or account number. Fact or not? MOHA needs to be informed of any change in the Bank account numbers
    as per prescribed procedure.

    Please clarify.

    I agree with Mr. V.B. Chandrasekaran on this.

    This can be compared with the case of change of bank account number. When, we originally got FCRA, it as manual and subsequent changes in number does not imply change of account. Account is the same. Number is changed of which we have no control.

    Same in this case also. Our address is not changed but the name of the location has changed. This should be small automatic change in matter and we need not much worry about it. Well, may be leisurely we can get the changes done. Old Address will remain for long time, sir.
