Introduced the FC-6F route for inclusion/deletion of purpose or State/Union Territory in the registration scope, supported by the governing-body resolution and prescribed fee/documents.

Working notes

What to check: Use FC-6F before operating outside the recorded purpose/geographic scope.
Before you close the file: Retain resolution and revised scope approval.
