5.0 / 5.0

Overview

NGO compliance in India spans five regulatory authorities — the Income Tax Department, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (for Section 8 companies), Registrar of Societies, Ministry of Home Affairs (for FCRA-registered NGOs), and NITI Aayog (Darpan). Each requires different filings at different deadlines, and non-compliance with any one authority triggers penalties, loss of exemptions, or registration cancellation. MFiling's Annual Compliance Management Retainer covers all obligations under a single managed service — with a dedicated relationship manager, personalised compliance calendar, and guaranteed timely filings.

3 Why a Managed Retainer Works Better Than Ad-Hoc Filing

  • Single point of contact — one relationship manager knows your NGO's complete history
  • Cross-filing coordination — ITR-7, FC-4, and Darpan data are prepared in a coordinated workflow to avoid inconsistencies
  • Lower cost than individual filings — bundled retainer pricing is significantly cheaper than individual service fees
  • Instant response to notices — when government notices arrive, your MFiling manager responds immediately without onboarding delays
  • Regulatory change alerts — MFiling monitors FCRA, IT, and MCA amendments and informs clients proactively
