Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA)

Why it matters

• Maintains oversight on the flow of foreign funds to non-governmental organizations to prevent potential misuse for activities detrimental to national interest.
• Ensures transparency and accountability in the financial operations of entities receiving international grants.
• Provides a mechanism for the government to regulate the activities of voluntary organizations in the context of public order and national security.

How it is asked

Focus on the balance between the right to receive foreign funding and the state's power to regulate it under the doctrine of reasonable restrictions, as well as the administrative procedures for registration, renewal, and cancellation of licenses.
