The MHA issued a public notice establishing new guidelines for processing prior permission applications under FCRA, 2010. The directive stipulates a 3-year validity period for receiving foreign contributions and a 4-year period for utilizing them, effective from the application approval date. For existing approved applications with remaining project duration exceeding 3 years, the time limit will be calculated from the order's issuance date. The competent authority retains discretionary power to grant extensions on a case-by-case basis. Violations of these time limits will result in punitive actions, emphasizing strict regulatory compliance for foreign contribution management.
