FCRA Bill 2026: What Happens When NGOs Lose Foreign Funding?

Описание: The Lok Sabha this week referred the FCRA Amendment Bill, 2026 to a Joint Parliamentary Committee after a heated political standoff. While the Opposition alleges the Bill targets minorities, the government says it's about closing a critical loophole — ensuring foreign contributions never work against India's national interest, public order, or security.

In this explainer, we break down:
✅ What triggered the JPC referral
✅ Why ₹22,000 crore in annual foreign funding is under the scanner
✅ The new "Designated Authority" and its power over foreign-funded assets
✅ What happens when an NGO's FCRA licence lapses or is cancelled
✅ The national security angle behind the Bill

The Bill will now be examined by a 31-member JPC, with its report due in the Winter Session.
