The Role of FCRA in Regulating Foreign Contributions
According to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), foreign funds given to ngos are checked to confirm they are in agreement with Indian interests and safety. The fcra calls for organizations accepting foreign funds to be registered, so that everything is clear and everyone can hold them accountable. It stops unauthorized use of funds by reviewing how contributions are used. Because of the framework, donors trust ngos and the country’s independence isn’t compromised which reinforces the reliability of civil society.
