No Seetharaman,
Sponsorship fee means we provide the services "like Banner advertisement, company profile, and delegate passes.
As clarified at Explanation 3 above, foreign contribution excludes earnings from foreign client(s) by a person in lieu of goods sold or services rendered by it as this is a transaction of commercial nature.
