Hello, I want to clear my doubt on topic of FCRA. What are the tax implication on the amount received under FCRA approval by a Society registered under Societies Registration Act 1860? What must be done if balance amount is left in th FCRA bank account at the year end?

What will be tax liability if out of the amount received under FCRA almost 80% are spent on charitable purpose and 20% are still left in FCRA bank account at the end of accounting year

as I told you before, you need to look at the overall compliance of section 11/12 and not standalone FCRA founds. check whether or not the organization has utilized more than 85% of the overall funds received during the year.

I have gone through Section 11/12 and I know that the if more than 85% of amt is utilized then the over all funds would be exempted but my question is what to do in case the amt spent is around 80% and 20% is left as it is in the FCRA bank account?

I am putting forward this FCRA point every time because except this there is no other voluntary contribution to this society...Now what will be the answer???

then you should draft your query properly...regardless, you need to submit Form 10 before the due date of return filing under section 139(1). Refer section 11.
this way you will be able to avoid tax liability be spending the short amount in subsequent year.

1 more clarificaton....! As mentioned in section 11/12, the voluntary donations must be spent on charitable purpose. Bt if the society spend its fcra funds on the repayment of loan which was taken for conducting charitable works then would this repayment of loan will be treated as under expense for charitable purpose

FCRA funds can be used only for the purpose they were brought in to the country. any diversion is not permitted under FCRA rules. so kindly check for what purpose was the funds were brought in

in the application given to mha for fcra, the purpose to repay the loan was clearly mentioned. and there is no any diversion in spending the amount...now if mha has given approval to the same application then would it be deductible

if the society has not yet registered itself for deductions under 80G and 12A then also it can claim deduction of section 11/12 as it is a registered society under Society Registration Act, 1860?
