Govt: No FCRA for NGOs linked to conversions, radical groups
Hindustan Times|November 12, 2024
The Union ministry of home affairs has, for the first time, explicitly listed the reasons for denying the clearance needed under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) to receive funds from abroad.

These include involvement in anti-development activities and religious conversions; inciting protests with malicious intentions; and the existence of links with radical organisations.

The ministry said it is putting out "consolidated reasons" after receiving a representation from several NGOs seeking clarity on why their clearance under FCRA was denied. To be sure, the ministry has neither identified the NGOs nor listed specific reasons.
