We are an NGO working with a corporate undertaking their CSR programmes.They informed us that the donations which they sent to the NGO is foreign because the major shareholders are foreign.The local bank is objecting to deposit the grant in our foreign contribution account as there is no sufficient proof for the source. Kindly help; us to show a solution top our problem.
the querist already has a foreign contribution account.
Dear querist,
Normally it is other way around where banks flag a donation as foreign contribution and the NGO treats it otherwise. Regardless bank does has a right to question the source.
To prove your case, you need to provide the shareholding details of the company.
For your assistance, please note that money coming from a company registered in India more than one-half of the nominal value of its share capital is held, either singly or in the aggregate, by one or more of the following, namely:- (A) the Government of a foreign country or territory; (B) the citizens of a foreign country or territory; (C) corporations incorporated in a foreign country or territory; (D) trusts, societies or other associations of individuals (whether incorporated or not), formed or registered in a foreign country or territory; (E) foreign company;
shall be treated as foreign source.
