2. As per Rule 17A of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Rules, 2011 (FCRA 2011), an association which has bene granted a certificate of registration or prior permission under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 (FCRA 2010) shall intimate through the portal, besides other changes, any change in office bearers or members or key functionaries mentioned in the application for grant of registration or renewal of registration or prior permission, in Form FC-6E within 45 days of change.

3. The matter has been examined and it has been decided that associations can now submit another application in Form FC-6E, even if, an application in Form FC-6E for change in office bearers or members or key functionaries of the same association is pending. Once association initiates filing another FC-6E application, the details/requests from previous FC-6E application shall be auto filled in new application.
