you have to use fat arrow as function/callback instead of simple function. this will maintain the scope of this even outside the function too.

Use your function like this :-

First of all, you are sending the spider more time on the same site, though with different form parameters. You have therefore to use dont_filter=True in the request, otherwise Scrapy blocks duplicate calls.

Then it seems to me that the site you are scraping don't allow you to make more than one request during the same session. Try for example to go to http://fcainfoweb.nic.in/PMSver2/Reports/Report_Menu_web.aspx with your browser, compile the form, get the data and than to go back to the initial page: It's impossible. So you have to modify your spider. Here's a very rough code just to give an idea. It works for me, but please don't use it in production!
