Centre to table FCRA Amendment Bill in Lok Sabha week
The Indian government plans to bring a new law to Parliament next week.
This law will make it harder for foreign money to flow into non‑profit groups.
It will also set up a special office to take care of the money of groups that lose their foreign‑funding licence.
The move is part of a broader effort to keep foreign influence in check.
The bill will be debated in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Parliament.
Indian government will introduce the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026 in Lok Sabha next week.
Bill aims to tighten oversight of foreign funding to NGOs.
It proposes a designated authority to manage assets of NGOs that lose FCRA registration.
Loss of registration can occur due to cancellation, surrender, or non‑renewal.
The move follows concerns over foreign influence in civil society.
