Query on FCRA

The office bearers of the association are required to continue in the office and any change which causes more than 50% of the office bearers as were mentioned in the application for registration, automatically debars the organisation from accepting foreign contribution. So in case where more than 50% of the office bearers are changed then it is required that the FCRA authorities are informed and due approval is taken. During the period between the date of change and the approval from FCRA authorities, the FCRA registration will remain suspended and the association cannot receive any foreign contribution. If it wants to receive foreign contribution it can do with prior permission only. This provision has been introduced to prevent the misuse and sale of FCRA registered associations.

Thanks, still I have a doubt that office bearers means only president, vice president, secretary, joint secretary and treasurer or all the members of executive commitee (including directos).  please clarify me ASAP.

with regards,
