Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam, Shirdi Saibaba Sansthan, Ramakrishna Mission lose FCRA nod

The Hindu  

Among the 6,000 NGOs that did not have their FCRA registration renewed by the Ministry of Home Affairs recently are also included the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, the Ramakrishna Mission, and Shirdi’s Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust. The famous Tirupati Venkateswara temple in Andhra Pradesh and the Ramakrishna Mission are registered as Hindu religious organisations, while the SSST falls under the “religious ” category of the Foreign Contribution Act. The Ramakrishna Mission registered in Maharashtra filed its return in July, declaring it had ₹1.3 crore in its designated foreign contribution bank account. An MHA official said last week that the Ministry had declined to renew the FCRA registration of 179 NGOs, while 5,789 associations did not apply for a renewal before the December 31 deadline.
