Print The order issued by the MHA is being seen as a relief to the NGOs for switching to the new FCRA regime.
"Keeping in view the exigencies arising out of the COVID-19 situation and to ensure a smooth transition to the amended FCRA regime, the central government, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 50 of the FCRA, 2010, has further decided that the registration certificates expiring or expired during the period between September 29, 2020 and September 30, 2021 shall remain valid up to September 30, 2021," the order said.
Another order issued by the ministry said the non-government organisations (NGOs) can open their FCRA accounts to receive foreign donations at the main branch of the State Bank of India (SBI) at Sansad Marg in Delhi till June 30.
"After that date, they shall not be eligible to receive foreign contributions in any account other than the FCRA account...," the order said.
According to the amended law, providing the Aadhaar number of the office-bearers of an NGO is mandatory for the registration of the organisation under the FCRA.
Besides, with the amendments, office expenses have been brought down to 20% from 50% and election candidates, government servants, members of any legislature and political parties were prohibited from accepting foreign funding.
