FCRA Return Filing Services for NGOs | N D Savla & Associates
FCRA Returns · Nashik, Maharashtra

FCRA Return Filing — Received, applied, accounted for.

Annual and periodic reporting under the foreign contribution framework, including the certified return, utilisation reporting and the disclosures that must be kept current through the year.

Book Free Consultation

An organisation holding FCRA registration reports every year on what it received, from whom, and how it applied it. The return is certified, filed against the designated account and read alongside the audited accounts, so the numbers have to agree in every direction.

N D Savla & Associates prepares and files these returns for organisations in Nashik and across Maharashtra, along with the separate books and the reconciliations that support them.

The most frequent cause of difficulty is the account. Foreign contribution has to be traced from the designated account through to utilisation without mixing with domestic funds, and where the bookkeeping has not maintained that separation, the return cannot be prepared cleanly until it is rebuilt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. An organisation holding registration is ordinarily required to file a return even where no foreign contribution was received during the year.
The return is filed with the audited statement of accounts for foreign contribution and the prescribed certification, and the figures must agree with the underlying records.
The framework requires foreign contribution to be received in the designated account and accounted for separately from domestic funds, so that receipt and utilisation can be traced.
A limit is prescribed on the proportion of foreign contribution that may be applied to administrative expenses, and the composition of those expenses is defined under the framework.
Delay can attract consequences under the framework and, if persistent, can affect the registration itself, so delayed returns should be regularised promptly.
Periodic disclosure of receipts is required to be kept current in the manner prescribed, in addition to the annual return.
