India’s Parliament is considering a sweeping amendment to the country’s foreign-funding law that critics warn could give the government unprecedented authority over the assets of NGOs, including Christian ministries, hospitals, schools, and charitable organizations that rely on foreign donations. The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, introduced in India’s Lok Sabha on March 25, would expand the government’s authority over organizations that lose, surrender, or fail to renew their registration under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA). The proposed law would allow a government-appointed “Designated Authority” to take control of foreign-funded assets and potentially transfer or sell those assets.
