🟣 Can public servant receive FCRA funds through their NGO?
⛔ No public servant, as defined in #Section21 of IPC (indianpenalcode.ozg.in), can receive foreign contributions. The clause (c) of sub-section (1) of section 3 of the FCRA Act has amended, to include “public servant” in the ambit of entities that are banned from accepting foreign funds.
