The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill has emerged as one of the biggest flashpoints of Parliament's Monsoon Session. The proposed law seeks to tighten the regulation of foreign funding received by NGOs by introducing a new framework to manage foreign-funded assets.

The Bill has faced strong opposition, and remains under consideration after its discussion was put on hold. #fcra #foreignfunding #amitshah Important Playlists National News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YXb9Oh62yur4MRCdRLL6gCt Business News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YVXM88oXiuA1JMLZtODGP1y World News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YW0Swy6-R3i50F5FbtDRiEe BS Decoded: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YWYuC7DEL8Lxl-rhiElowEE Want access to Business Standard’s premium insights?
