    Dear SRRF Dialogue members,
    As per my view , First Income from FCRA fund will be deposited in Designated bank account then can be transfer to utilisation account for expenditures, FCRA Income can not be deposited direct to utilisation bank account , Utilisation account should not mix with local fund .

    Dear SRRF Dialogue Members,
    As per my view, FCRA Income should be deposited in Main FCRA Bank Account (intimated at the time of Registration) not to the FCRA Utilization Account. The concept of FCRA Utilization Bank Accounts came only after the FCRA 2010 ammendments and it can be only used for Utilization purpose.

    Thanks & Regards.

    Dear Rajneesh,
    So far as my understanding goes, the FCRA utilization account is exclusively meant for utilizing the FC funds transferred from main FC to this account. The only funds that can be deposited back to the utilization account are the funds released from the account as some advance.

    The income can be deposited if the purpose of transfer is utilization of funds that are being transferred. Also, it makes no difference whether the funds (income) are in main FC account or FC utilization account since all these will have to be reflected in the balance sheet at the end of the year. The bank statements also need to be sent to MoHA along with FC-6.

    Thanks and regards,
