FCRA Audit — Compliant. Transparent. On Time.
Registration, annual return filing and compliance audits under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 for NGOs, trusts and societies in Nashik and across Maharashtra receiving foreign contributions.
Book Free ConsultationAny NGO, trust, society or Section 8 company receiving foreign contributions in India is required to comply with the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 (FCRA) — from initial registration or prior permission, through maintenance of a designated FCRA bank account, to annual filing of Form FC-4 and a statutory FCRA audit. Non-compliance can lead to suspension or cancellation of registration and freezing of funds.
At N D Savla & Associates, we assist charitable organisations, religious trusts, educational institutions and societies across Nashik and Maharashtra with FCRA registration, utilisation certificate preparation, designated-account reconciliation, and the annual FCRA audit required to be filed along with Form FC-4 under Rule 17 of the FCRA Rules.
Our engagement covers the full compliance cycle — from documentation and eligibility review to final audit report and return filing — so that your organisation's foreign funding remains fully compliant with the Ministry of Home Affairs requirements.
