<h1>Non-submission of Annual Return (FC-6) by associations may prompt cancellation of their foreign contribution registration.</h1> Associations registered under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) framework must submit an Annual Return (Form FC-6) with supporting financial statements within nine months of the financial year-end; NIL returns are required if no foreign contribution was received. The Ministry found many associations did not file FC-6 for 2009-2012, has sent notices (Annexure) requesting returns or justifications, and warns that failure to reply may lead to cancellation of registration for non-compliance.
