Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA): Reasons for Denial
The Ministry of Home Affairs has clarified reasons for denying FCRA clearances, aiming to ensure transparency and compliance among NGOs. Grounds include anti-development activities, religious conversions, and misuse of funds. Recent amendments have introduced stricter rules, such as Aadhaar verification and capped administrative expenses. With 20,711 licences cancelled since 2020, the FCRA ensures responsible foreign funding while promoting transparency. However, NGOs face challenges in compliance, highlighting the need for better guidelines and support mechanisms. This framework is crucial for maintaining financial integrity and national security.
