This is one of the most absurd controversy (if it is at all) I have ever come across.
An NRI (say Mr. ABC) is just an Indian Citizen, who is OUT of India for more than 183 days in any Financial Year (FY), for Income Tax purposes. He may be off and on even in India for work purposes too. Say he is in India for 165 days in any Financial Year, and the balance 200 days say in USA
There can be various possibilities.
1) Mr. ABC donates to AAP, while he is in India, (during those 165 days) using his Indian Bank's Debit Card, through net banking, out of his Indian savings. Why should any law, stop Mr. ABC from donating his money to AAP, just because he stays out of India from more than 183 days in a FY, for work purposes, and thus becomes an NRI. Is working abroad for more than 183 days in a FY, and thus become an NRI automatically be default for Income Tax purposes, a crime??
2) Say the same Mr. ABC in now using his Indian Bank's Debit Card, from USA, and donating to AAP, through net banking, out of his Indian Savings. Why again should any law, stop Mr. ABC from donating his money to AAP from abroad through Net Banking.
I understand, plenty of NRI's are donating through net banking to AAP, using their Indian Debit Cards. And then who would decide, the money which goes to AAP, from the NRI's Indian Bank Account, is from Indian sources or not. It would naturally be a mixture of both from Indian and abroad sources.
An NRI also has to pay Indian Income Tax for his interest earnings in Banks in India. In any case, the NRI also pays his Indian Income Tax online, through his very same Indian Bank's Debit Card, sitting abroad. Why should Mr. ABC now be stopped from using the very same Indian Bank's Debit Card, for donating to AAP ???
Is there any similar absurd restrictions in paying Mr. ABC's Indian Income Tax dues online for his Taxable Indian Banks Interests from the so called 'foreign sources' ???? If anybody knows of any such absurd rules than an NRI can NOT pay his Indian Income Taxes dues online using his say USA Banks's Debit Card (through paypal or otherwise) and the so called 'foreign sources', then please let the forum know.

Sec 2(j)(x) of FCRA only defines a citizen of another country as a foreign sourcr and not a citizen of India even if resident abroad .So acceptance of any donation from a non resident Indian Citizen is fully permissible.
