FCRA Return Services annual FC-4, quarterly disclosure, and FCRA audit.
FCRA Return Filing services in India — annual Form FC-4 return, quarterly online disclosure, FCRA bank account reconciliation, utilisation certificate, and FCRA audit support for NGOs registered under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010.
FCRA Return Filing is the recurring compliance discipline that every FCRA-registered organisation must follow to maintain its FCRA status in good standing. The two principal filings are the annual return in Form FC-4 — covering the foreign contribution received and utilised during a financial year, balance carried forward, donor-wise summary, and audited financial statements — and the quarterly online disclosure of foreign contribution receipts on the FCRA portal within fifteen days of the close of each quarter.
Form FC-4 is filed online on the FCRA portal within nine months from the close of the financial year, that is, by 31 December for the year ending 31 March. It must be accompanied by audited financial statements, receipt and payment account, income and expenditure account, and balance sheet for the FCRA account; a chartered accountant's certificate confirming receipt and utilisation; and bank account statements of the designated FCRA account. Errors, mismatches, or late filing of FC-4 are common grounds for suspension and even cancellation of FCRA registration.
Our FCRA Return Services act as the recurring FCRA compliance partner for FCRA-registered NGOs. We reconcile the designated FCRA bank account month by month, classify donor-wise receipts, prepare project-wise utilisation, draft the FCRA accounts, conduct or coordinate the FCRA audit, prepare and file the annual Form FC-4, file quarterly online disclosures, and respond to any MHA scrutiny or assessment letters that follow.
