- The government introduced the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, to strengthen the regulation of foreign funding.
- The bill regulates foreign contributions (money received from foreign sources) to improve transparency and accountability of organisations.
- It proposes a Designated Authority to take control of foreign funds and assets if registration is cancelled, expired, or not renewed.
- FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) registration will automatically lapse if not renewed, ensuring strict compliance.
- Key functionaries (directors, trustees, partners) are made personally responsible for the proper use of foreign funds.
- It mandates time-bound use of funds and restricts organisations under suspension from transferring or selling assets.
