Changes in online filing of FC-6

Please note that there have been some important changes in online filing of FCRA annual return (FC-6).

As per FCRA department, now there is no need to submit hard copy of FC-6 to the ministry, you have to upload scan copy of the all supporting documents to the ministry website at the time of filing of online FC-6. The new instructions for online filing of annual form FC-6 state that final submission can be made after uploading the scan copy of the following documents:

- Chartered Accountant Certificate &
- Declaration Certificate of Chief Functionary of the FCRA registered association.

The Annual Return submitted online will be treated as final version and there is no need to submit paper/hard copy of the Return to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

However it may be mentioned that while the Dept. has stated that there is no need to file hardcopy, please note that as per Rule 17 (1) requires filing of financial statements and Rule 17 (6 ) requires submission of bank statements. Further online instructions 12 still requires hardcopy to be filed.

Hence as a prudent accountants, we should continue to file hardcopy of returns as we have been doing in past in addition to online filing of documents required.
