India warns NGOs to renew FCRA registration to legally use foreign funds, or face penalties.

The Indian Home Ministry has warned NGOs that they must be properly registered under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) 2010 to receive and use foreign funds. NGOs must renew their FCRA certification six months before it expires; failure to do so can lead to legal action. The ministry highlighted cases where unregistered NGOs continued to use foreign funds, which is against the FCRA and may result in penalties.
