This is to bring to notice of all SRRF Dialogue members and particularly the funding agencies which provide funds to other NGOs that the FCRA Dept has now started a facility, whereby such agencies can directly verify the validity of their FCRA registration from the FCRA website itself.
The new facility called Validity Verification of FCRA Certificate provides complete detail of the FCRA registered entity, its name, address, fcra when registered, validity period, if Renewal application filed, the date of such filing, etc. Please see the screen shot below.

WE HAVE REQUESTED TO CHANGE OUR FCRA BANK ACCOUNT THROUGH ONLINE, BUT THERE IS NO REPLY OR CHANGE.
THEY HAVE ASKED TO ATTACH : “SELF CERTIFIED COPY OF AMENDMENT APPROVAL BY LOCAL / RELEVANT AUTHORITY TO BE ENCLOSED”
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ?
PLEASE GUIDE US.
Hi..Please share the FCRA website link to validate the FCRA registered organization.
It is available on the FCRA Home screen. But for anyone who needs here is the link directly to the verification screen.

Can you please mention the link to the new facility of Validity Verification of FCRA certificate? I don’t find it in the fcraonline website.
Sorry, when I checked again I could find the facility. Thank you for the information.

so basically FCRA validity verification certificate is for funding agency not for receiver.
Well it is available for anyone, I think but it would be very useful for funding agencies, who can now verify the validity of FCRA before giving the funds. Till now one just depended on the word of the NGO itself.
