What this covers
Form FC-6D is used to intimate the Ministry of Home Affairs when an FCRA-registered organisation opens an additional utilisation account - a bank account, beyond the mandatory designated account, used to hold and spend foreign contribution transferred from the designated account (see the related utilisation-account control).
How this keeps the regulator's account record complete
Because an organisation may operate more than one utilisation account - for example, separate accounts for different projects or regional offices - FC-6D intimation ensures the Ministry's record of the organisation's full account structure stays complete and current, rather than showing only the designated account while additional utilisation accounts operate undisclosed.
Why it matters
Because the annual return (Form FC-4) requires reporting across all of an organisation's FCRA-related accounts, an un-intimated utilisation account creates an inconsistency between what FC-6D filings show the Ministry and what the FC-4 return later discloses - keeping FC-6D intimation current for every account opened avoids this mismatch surfacing at annual-return time.
