JPC members question Centre on foreign funds, asset takeover provisions in FCRA amendments

The Home Ministry defended amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) that would allow the government to take over assets of foreign‑funded organisations and appoint a designated authority. Members of the Joint Parliamentary Committee raised concerns about the new powers and the impact on transparency and accountability. The committee will review the proposals in upcoming sessions.
