The Home Ministry extended the FCRA licences of those NGOs whose renewal applications are still pending or whose validity is about to expire until September 30. However, the home ministry made clear that NGOs whose renewal application was rejected would not be permitted to receive foreign funds.
The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act of 2010 mandates registration for any NGOs who intend to receive foreign financing.
The validity of any FCRA entities whose five-year period of validity expires between July 1, 2022, and September 30, and which have applied for or submitted a renewal before the expiration of the five-year period, will be extended until September 30, 2022.
