The MHA, under FCRA 2010, issued a public notice permitting associations with expired FCRA registration to pay compounding penalties and fees exclusively through their FCRA bank account at SBI New Delhi Main Branch via the online FCRA portal's new "SBI Branch Payment" mechanism. Associations are strictly prohibited from any additional receipt or utilization of funds during the expired registration period, with potential penal consequences for violations. The directive aims to provide a regulated pathway for NGOs to manage financial obligations after registration expiration while maintaining regulatory compliance.
