15. Does FCRA apply to commercial or business organisation?
Ans. -Movement of foreign funds in the normal course of commerce and business is outside the purview of FCRA. Therefore, business organisation need not worry about FCRA as FCRA is only a internal security enactment. However, the provision of Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, which is a financial legislation, would be applicable.

18. What is the time limit of making an application for registration?
Ans. -No specific time limit has been provided under FCRA for making an application, unlike Income Tax Act, which requires an organisation to apply within one year from its creation or registration under section 12A. Normally FCRA is granted after 3 years of active existence.
19. An undertaking is required to be given by Chief functionary, what are its implications?
Ans. -The application form which is FC-8, was amended vide Foreign Contribution (Regulation) (Amendment) Rules, 1996[GSR 592(E), dt. 27.12.1996].

(i) Inform within 30days regarding change of name, address, objects, etc. with evidence.
(ii) Not to accept any foreign contribution without prior permission, if more than 50% of the office bearers as were mentioned in the application for registration are changed or replaced.

As discussed above, that after 27.12.1996, all organisations applying for registration are required to give an undertaking which, among other conditions, specifies that foreign contributions, specifies that foreign contribution should not be accepted if more than 50% of office bearers, as were mentioned in the application for registration are changed or replaced. But the organisations who had applied before 27.12.1996 and were registered, are not bound by any such undertaking. The undertaking is a part of Form FC-8 and nothing in this regard has been mentioned in the FCRA. Therefore, those organisations who are not signatory to such undertaking are legally not bound by the clauses of the undertaking. The undertaking in the earlier form did not have the clause of change in more than 50% of office bearers. In the absence of any specific provision in the FCRA, the undertaking given in Form FC-8 does not create any mandatory obligation on the older organisations. But, it is advisable to inform such changes and get them officially regularised.
20. Can an Ngo have foreigner on board at the time of registration ?
Ans. -Under FCRA, an organisation registered in India, having a definite cultural, economic, educational, religious or social programme is entitled to apply for registration. An organisation can apply for FCRA registration even when it has foreigners as its member/board members. The only issue relevant in this regard is that FCRA authorities may exercise greater vigil and caution in processing such application. But as a matter of internal practice FCRA is not granting registration to organisation with foreigners on board. Such registrations are given only in exceptional circumstances, very few instances are available.
21. Is FCRA application be recommended by some local authority ?
Ans. -Foreign Contribution Amendment Rules, 2000, inserted clause 10A in Form FC-1A, requiring the insertion of a certificate from a competent authority. This certificate can be given by any one of the following :
(1) Collector of District
(2) Department of the State Government
(3) Ministry or Department of the Government of India
In this certificate the competent authority certifies the address and the field of activities in which the organisation is working. It also states that there are no adverse antecedents of the organisation, the proposed activities will be beneficial to the people living in that area and the detail of prior permission if taken earlier.

27. What is the time limit for making application for prior permission ?
Ans. -An application for prior permission in Form FC-1A can be made any time after the legal constitution of an organization. But it is important to have a written commitment (Letter of Intent) from the donors.
28. What if funds are received prior to getting a prior permission?
Ans. -If the funds are credited in the bank account prior to the receipt of approval from the FCRA authorities, then the funds should not be applied for the purposes for which they are received i.e. it should be kept intact and should be spent only after getting prior permission.
If the application is rejected then the funds have to be refunded back to the respective donors. The refund of fund back to the foreign agencies may involve legal formalities under Foreign Exchange Management Act, depending on the quantum of contribution received.
29. What is a time limit for granting prior permission ?
Ans. -The FCRA department should dispose of a application of prior permission within a maximum period of 120 days.
30. What if the application is not disposed of within a period of 120 days?
Ans. -The proviso to Section 11 provides that if the prior permission is not granted within the prescribed time limit, then the applicant can assume that the prior permission is deemed to have been granted. The deeming provision provides an automatic right for receiving foreign funds, to the applicant organisation even in the absence of any written communication from the FCRA department.
Before invoking the deeming provisions, the recipient organisation should wait for a reasonable period from the end of 120 days to ensure that the communication is not in postal transit.
31. What is the law about opening of bank account ?
Ans. -As per Section 6(1)(b), every organisation, which has either registered itself with the Central Government in accordance with the FCRA rules or has obtained prior permission, shall receive foreign contribution only through one such bank account as specified in its application for registration for prior permission.
Form FC-8 and Form FC-1A which deal with the application for registration and prior permission respectively, require the mention of separate bank account number and the branch of the bank.
32. What is the procedure for changing bank accounts ?
Ans. -When a change of bank account becomes a necessity by virtue of relevant and justifiable reasons the following procedure may be followed : (i) A new bank account which is proposed to be designated bank account should be opened by depositing the minimum amount required for opening of the account.
(ii) The proposed account, since it is subject to approval, should not be opened with foreign funds.
(iii) An application to the FCRA authorities should be made by citing the relevant and justifiable reasons for such change along with complete details of the old account as well as the new account.
(iv) After receiving the permission from FCRA authorities, the entire unspent balance of foreign contribution from the old designated account should be transferred to the new account.
(v) It is not necessary to close the old account. Therefore, the organisation may use the old account as a local account. But it is desirable to close the old account, to ensure that even by mistake the foreign funds are not credited to the old account.
33. Is change in signatory of bank account is required to be reported ?
Ans. -Change in signatories of bank accounts is a routine procedural issue and therefore need not be informed to the FCRA authorities. The undertaking given by the Chief functionary in the form FC-8 for informing the changes in the bank account is only about change of the bank or branch of the bank. Any procedural changes in the same bank account do not require an approval of the FCRA authorities.
34. What if there is a change in account number due to computerisation ?
Ans. -Many designated FC bank account numbers have been changed due to computerisation. In such cases, it is advisable to inform the FCRA authorities about such changes. The new account number should be used for all subsequent reporting and correspondence purposes.
35. Does FCRA allow maintenance of separate bank accounts for separate donors ?
Ans. -It has been seen that some donors insist of maintenance of separate bank account specifically for their grant and utilisation thereof. But under FCRA, all foreign contributions should be received in one designated bank account only. Therefore, under no circumstances, separate bank account should be opened for receiving funds from various donors. After the receipt of funds in the designated bank account, the organisation may open different sub-account (which is also known as link-up bank accounts) for operational purposes depending upon the need for them.
36. Can an NGO have more than one account for project purposes?
Ans. -In our opinion, opening of project accounts at different places for utilisation of funds seems to be relevant and justifiable. An NGO may open bank account(s) for different projects, which are linked to main foreign contribution bank account. All foreign contribution should be received in the designated bank and subsequently funds can be transferred to various project accounts.
Opening of an imprest or project area account should not be confused with having more than one account for FCRA purposes. Under FCRA at any given point of time, there can be only one designated bank account for receipt of foreign funds. The other project accounts should be sub-accounts or link-up accounts where the receipt can only be made through the main account. Detail of such subsidiary bank accounts should be provided with the Form FC-3 return every year. Care should be taken to ensure that in the above mentioned link-up bank accounts, local income is not deposited at any time.
37. Can an inter-project loan be received in FCRA account ?
Ans. -In our opinion, inter-project transaction does not entail receipt of any fresh foreign contribution, such transaction do not violate any provision of FCRA. But it should be ensured that such transactions are made within the FC projects of the organisation. In case, there is a loan or advance received from some other organisation then if it is a FC receipt it should be received in the designated bank account only.
38. Is bank interest earned on foreign funds part of foreign contribution ?
Ans. -There is no mention made in the Act or the Rules regarding the treatment of interest earned from the designated bank account. In the absence of any clear-cut provisions, the normal practice is to consider interest earned on FCRA funds as foreign contribution only. This argument has been further justified in the amendment to FC-3 Form vide GSR 557 (E) dated 26th July, 2001 wherein a column has been added to report the interest income as well. Thus any interest earned should be disclosed in FC-3 and also the FCRA receipt and payment account.
39. Can FDR's be created out of FC bank balance ?
Ans. -As far as the creation of fixed deposits of FCRA funds is concerned, there does not seem to be any bar on it. All the funds are required to be received in the designated bank account but any temporary surplus funds may be placed in fixed deposits with the bank, pending utilisation for the objects for which they were received. Care should be taken that the investments are in compliance with the section 11(5) of the Income Tax Act.
40. What is the treatment if fixed asset is created from Foreign Contribution as well as domestic funds?
Ans. -Any asset created out of foreign funds should be recorded in the FC books of account only. FC asset will continue to remain an FC asset irrespective of time factor or closure of the project. At times it may so happen that a portion of the asset is funded from domestic sources.
For instance, a building constructed on a land purchased from domestic sources. In such cases, the cost of the land should be reflected in the domestic books of account and the cost of the building should be shown in the FC books of account. Only the consolidated, statement will show the total cost of land and building together.
41. What is the procedure to be followed on sale of joint fixed assets ?
Ans. -If an asset purchased out of FCRA funds is sold, then the amount received on sales of such asset should be shown as foreign receipts. There might be circumstances where assets are created out of both FCRA as well as domestic funds. In such cases, apportionment of the sale receipts should be made on a suitable and reasonable basis out of the sale consideration receipt and the amount, pertaining to foreign contribution portion of the asset should be The funds generated from a FC asset being a FC receipt should be deposited in the designated bank account.
42. Can an organisation take loan from local sources for FC project ?
Ans. -An organisation may use domestic funds for FC projects temporarily in the absence of receipt of FC funds in time. However, when the funds in FC account are available the advance must be settled forthwith. All the original bills must be kept in FC account and photocopies may be kept in local contribution account.
43. Can FCRA fund be given to another NGO ?
Ans. -FCRA funds can be given to another NGOs only if the other NGO also possesses FCRA registration.
44. As the FC funds cannot be given to any unregistered NGO, does it imply that funds cannot be transferred to village level SHG's who may not have FCRA registration ?
Ans. -As already discussed, the second or subsequent recipient is also required to possesses FCRA registration or prior permission. Therefore on strict interpretation of FCRA laws, it is not possible to give revolving funds as loans to community based organisations not possessing FCRA registration. The intent of statute does not seem to be in favour of preventing deserving village based organisations from availing funds meant for them. The amendment made in FC-3 vide GSR 557 (E) dated 26th July, 2001 has specifically included Micro Finance Projects and SHG as heads of utilisation of foreign funds. In our opinion and in the light of the amended FC-3, funds disbursed for revolving funds and micro finance activities should be shown as utilisation in FC-3 and also as expenditure in the Income and Expenditure Account. When loans are recovered the money should be re-deposited in the FCRA bank account and should be considered as foreign contribution received and when the loans are given out again the same should be considered as utilisation and expenditure in the year of the disbursal. For control purposes, separate records of the disbursals or receipt of the revolving funds should be made.
For large organisation having project in various parts of India it may be difficult to redeposit in the designated bank account. But under the prevailing provisions of FCRA, it is advisable to receive all such recoveries in the designated bank account only.
45. Can FCRA funds be transferred to general fund ?
Ans. -It has been seen that, many NGOs transfer the surplus of income over expenditure to the general fund in the local books of account. A general fund being an unrestricted fund at the discretion of the organisation is at times confused to be a local fund. But, all funds created from foreign contribution should be reflected in FC books of account only. As a result, an organisation can have two general funds, one, created from foreign funds and other from domestic funds. The same is true for the corpus and other funds also.
46. Can domestic contribution be mingled with foreign contribution?
Ans. -The organisations should distinguish between domestic and foreign contribution. Only foreign contribution should be received in the designated bank account. Possibility of mingling of domestic donation with foreign contribution is there because even funds from overseas in foreign currency may be domestic donation. For example, donation received from an NRI in foreign currency is not a foreign contribution if the NRI holds a valid Indian passport. On the other hand donation received from foreigner in India in Indian rupees is foreigncontribution.
So an organisation should take great care and caution in segregating the foreign contributions and domestic contribution. Accordingly only foreign contribution should be received in the designated bank account and reflected in the FC books of account. Mingling of domestic funds is not allowed.
47. What is the treatment of undisclosed/anonymous donations ?
Ans. -Many organisations, at times, receive funds through direct credit in their bank account from various overseas sources where the donor's identity may not be available. In such a case the organisation should ask its bank to trace the source of donation i.e. identity of donor, origin of country. The details if obtained from the bank should be reported in the Form FC-3 else the organisation should report in Form FC-3 all such anonymous donations on the basis of bank advices.
48. What is the accounting method for foreign contribution received in kind ?
Ans. -As per rule 8(1)(a), account has to be maintained for foreign contribution received in kind. Form FC-6 provides the format for recording the receipt as well as the utilisation of contributions received in kind. The entries made in FC-6 should correspond with entries made in Form FC-3.
49. Does FCRA impose 'cash basis' method of accounting ?
Ans. -No, FCRA does not impose any particular method of accounting. But it does have certain specific reporting requirements, which have to be complied diligently.
50. What documents are required to be filed annually ?
Ans. -Every organisation which receives foreign contributions shall file an annual return in Form FC-3 under rule 8(2) within 120 days of the closure of the year.
The following should be submitted in duplicate duly signed by the chief functionary and certified by the chartered accountant :
i) Form FC-3,
ii) Balance Sheet and statement of Receipt and Payment exclusively for foreign contribution received and utilised during the year.
51. It is necessary to file annual return even when the organisation does not receive any foreign contribution ?
Ans. -If an organisation having FCRA Registration does not receive any foreign contribution, even then it should file nil returns. It is mandatory to file Form FC-3 every year as long as the organisation wants to validly retain its registration. The Ministry of Home Affairs (FCRA division) in its press notes dated 09.01.1998 has specifically clarified that even if no foreign contribution is received, filing of nil return is mandatory. In the same press note it has been clarified that non-submission of return in time or furnishing of false submission would constitute violation of the provision of the Act and attract penal consequences.
52. Who should make the declaration and authentication in the annual return ?
Ans. -The FC-3 form is required to be signed by the Chief Functionary of the organisation and a certificate is also required to be given by a Chartered Accountant giving a brief summary of the FCRA funds movement and the opening & closing balances of FCRA Funds.
The Term "Chief Functionary" has not been defined in the FCRA Act or Rules. Normally the head of the organisation should be construed as the Chief Functionary. The organisation may also designate any office bearer as the Chief Functionary through a General Body/Governing Body resolution, for the purposes of filing the FCRA returns, Forms etc.
53. What is the implication for delay in filing of annual return ?
Ans. -FCRA is silent about consequences for delay in filing FC-3. It can be construed that an NGO would stand the risk of losing the FCRA registration if it does not file returns properly but whenever an NGO is not able to file FC-3 by 31st of July, it should write a letter to the FCRA office explaining the circumstances causing the delay. Normally FCRA authorities condone such delay in filing of returns.
