Summary of this article
India is set to overhaul the way it regulates foreign funding for non-governmental organisations. The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, introduced in the Lok Sabha on March 25, 2026, proposes sweeping changes to how NGOs receive and use foreign donations.
The government says the goal is to tighten financial oversight and improve how foreign-funded assets are managed, but legal and policy experts say some provisions could affect how NGOs function even after they stop receiving money from abroad.
