New Delhi: The home
ministry has clarified that Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) is exempt
from all provisions of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA)
and there is no bar on the university receiving or spending
foreign contributions, a university statement said Friday.
Following reports in some sections of the media in August that the
Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) Registration of Jamia
Millia Islamia along with many other organisations and NGOs had
been cancelled, the university gave a report of its returns to the
government, the statement said.
"JMI represented to the MHA that the university had submitted the
returns diligently included and gave proof for the same," the
statement said.
"As per the Government of India Gazette Notification dated July 1,
2011, all statutory Bodies having their accounts audited through
Comptroller & Auditor General of India are exempt from all
provisions of the Foreign Contributions Regulations Act (FCRA),"
the statement added.
The ministry scrapped the FCRA registration for 4,139 top
educational institutions, including many premier institutes,
disallowing them from accepting foreign donations. The ministry
said the institutions had "failed to submit satisfactory
supporting documents" of the fund usage.
Jamia Millia Islamia, an institution originally established at
Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh) in 1920, became a central university by an
act of parliament in 1988.
