About FCRA Annual Return (FC-4) & Compliance
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Every FCRA-registered NGO files an annual return in Form FC-4 by 31 December with income and expenditure, receipts and payments, balance sheet and a CA's certificate for foreign contribution. It must also disclose foreign receipts on its website quarterly, report changes in key functionaries and bank accounts within the prescribed time, and keep separate books for foreign contribution. Non-compliance can lead to suspension or cancellation.
The FCRA (Amendment) Rules, 2026 tightened reporting from 22 June 2026, so last year's checklist isn't enough. We keep the NGO's calendar current with MHA notices.
We prepare FCRA books, the CA certification, FC-4, quarterly disclosures and change intimations.
| FC-4 | By 31 December |
|---|---|
| Attachments | Audited FC accounts with CA certificate |
| Quarterly | Foreign receipts disclosed on website |
| Changes | Key functionaries, address, bank — intimated within time |
