FCRA Amendment Bill 2026 To Be Tabled In Lok Sabha This Week, Major NGO Rule Changes Ahead

The Modi government is set to introduce the FCRA Amendment Bill 2026, proposing significant changes to the regulation of foreign-funded NGOs. Aishwarya Paliwal, India Today, explains that the proposed legislation would allow a designated government authority to oversee and manage the assets of NGOs whose FCRA registration expires or is cancelled. Supporters say the move aims to improve transparency and ensure proper utilization of foreign contributions, while opposition parties argue it could increase government control over NGO assets.
