Foreign Contribution Amendment Act, 2020

 


Introduction

Foreign Contribution amendment act bill is introduced by Government of India on 29th September 2020. Although, the bill met with a stern opposition from the opposition the bill was passed in both the houses of Parliament despite the protest. The Government has claimed that the objective of the act is to strengthen compliance, enhance transparency and accountability in the receipt and utilization of foreign contributions and facilitating genuine non-governmental organizations or associations who are working of the welfare for the society.    

The amendment Act has come into force due to various instances where organization have failed to ensure basic statutory compliances such as maintenance of proper accounts  and submission of returns and it led to a situation wherein, the government had to cancel registration of various organization.

 

The new amendment of FCRA 2020 has come as a blow to the Indian Civil Society as it cuts down the foreign contribution for many an organization. Now this can be challenged in the highest court of law but herein lies the problem of the locus standi. Whether to challenge the law as a whole i.e. to decriminalize the law or whether to challenge the flaw in law laid down by the legislature.
