Dear Sir,
We got to know that our FCRA registration has been cancelled in 2019 for not submitting Annual Return for 2017-18. The strange thing is we were under the impression that our FCRA registration application was rejected as there was no written or postal communication from the ministry.
We only got to know our registration number after receiving the letter of cancellation in November this year and we have not received any foreign fund during the period. Kindly guide us what to do now.
