What Is The FCRA Bill?
The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act regulates the receipt and use of foreign funds, goods and foreign securities in India. Its purpose is to ensure that foreign funds are not used against national security, law and order or public interest.
The current FCRA Act dates back to 2010 and is enforced by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Under the Act, NGOs, trusts, institutions and other eligible organisations require FCRA registration or permission to receive foreign donations. They are also required to provide information on the use and accounting of foreign funds received.
