The Ministry of Home Affairs has notified fresh amendments to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Rules (FCRA), introducing stricter requirements for NGOs and associations receiving foreign funds. For the first time, organisations must specify the exact activities and geographical areas for which foreign contributions will be used. The amendment also expands the definition of key functionaries, mandates disclosure of social media accounts and publications, and imposes tighter restrictions on political and ideological content. In this video, we explain what the FCRA is, why the rules have been amended, the key changes introduced by the government, and what they mean for NGOs operating in India.
