Parliamentary Panel Reviews FCRA Amendment Bill, Notes Similarity to 2010 Law
The Joint Parliamentary Committee, led by BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal, reviewed the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, noting its provisions largely mirror the 2010 UPA-era law. The committee heard views from various religious groups, including the Syro Malabar Church and ISKCON. While opposition parties express concerns about potential impacts on minority funding, the government denies these claims, emphasizing the bill's intent to enhance transparency and maintain regulatory powers through a designated authority.
