Denial/refusal of applications for registration and renewal under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 (FCRA) is governed by specific provisions. Common reasons include inactivity, pending prosecution or conviction of office bearers, non-compliance with information requests, concealment of facts, fictitious office bearers, previous cancellation of registration, diversion of funds for anti-development activities, likelihood of personal gain or undesirable activities, linkages with radical/terrorist entities, and adverse impact on social/religious harmony. For renewals, additional grounds are non-utilization of foreign contributions, non-filing of annual returns, and violations of the Act or Rules. For new registrations, criteria like minimum expenditure on core activities and minimum years of existence apply. The illustrative list covers key legal provisions attracting denial but is non-exhaustive.
