Under section 9 (a) of the FCR Act, 2010 the CG may prohibit a person from receiving FC if it is satisfied that acceptance of such FC by such person is not in public interest or harmony between religious, social, linguistic or regional groups etc. Therefore the prohibitory order said to have been issued by the Govt is only against receipt of FC. It may not affect the utilization of the funds already in the other accounts which are opened by your client for utilization of the Fc already received. However pl check if there is any direction on the operation of the other accounts also and whether ur client has informed the C. Govt about the opening of the other accounts as required under Rule 9(2)(e) of the FCR Rules, 201o within 15 days of opening of the accounts.

As per foerign contribution regulation rules, the fcra registered organisation is to maintain a separate designated bank account for receiving foreign contributions.
you need to first clarify to the forum as to in what circumstances the NGO has opened three FCRA accounts instead of one.
one can answer your query after the above said informatiion.
