US Congressman Riley Moore criticised India's proposed FCRA Amendment Bill 2026, claiming it could allow government control over churches and religious charities after an organisation loses FCRA registration. Calling it an attack on Christians, he warned the move could affect India-US ties. The Bill also proposes lower penalties for FCRA violations.
Washington: A US lawmaker has voiced concern over the amendments proposed by India to its laws governing foreign donations received by NGOs, trusts, educational institutions and religious organisations, and said the move could affect bilateral relations.

US Congressman Riley Moore on Tuesday said the amendments to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) would permit the Indian government to takeover churches and religious charities and would amount to “clear attack against Christians”.
“Christians have been in India since St Thomas the Apostle travelled to the Malabar Coast just decades after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. But despite this long Christian history, India’s Parliament is considering amending Foreign Contribution Regulation Amendment (FCRA) rules to permit government takeovers of churches and religious charities,” Moore, a Republican from West Virginia, said in a post on X.
