FCRA Renewal has been again extended to 30th June 2022. A sigh of relief from the tension, that many of the NGOs who have been waiting endlessly for their renewal process to be completed, however the Dept. is yet to complete the process. It is quite likely that the Dept may yet extend the application, at the end of June, since it still has a vast majority applications pending, and whether it can complete its process during this 3 month period, is quite doubtful.
Covering a loophole which allowed organizations, which had not applied for renewal within the 5 year expiry period, to argue that they have applied before expiry of renewal, hence were eligible for renewal. Now the Notification makes it amply clear that only those organizations would be eligible for renewal, who have applied as per rules within 5 year validity period.
