FCRA registration validity extension preserves expiring certificates during the amendment transition, keeping them valid through the designated extension period. The Ministry of Home Affairs, invoking executive authority under the Act, extends the validity of FCRA registration certificates that would expire during the transitional period following the amendment notified on 29 September 2020, so that such certificates remain valid until 31 May 2021 to ensure a smooth transition to the amended regime; stakeholders are advised to take appropriate action.
