NGOs are specifically rattled by the proposed ban on transfer of foreign contribution from one FCRA-registered NGO to another.

As the government pushes the Foreign Contribution Regulation (Amendment) Bill in Parliament amid criticism from the Opposition, its provisions have caused a lot of discomfort among NGOs, which argue that their space will increasingly shrink if it becomes law.

NGOs are specifically rattled by the proposed ban on transfer of foreign contribution from one FCRA-registered NGO to another. They argue that this has the potential to wipe out smaller FCRA-registered NGOs working at grassroots level in remote areas, as they do not have access to large amounts of foreign funds.

Bigger NGOs, which have greater access to such funds but lack as wide a grassroots network, often collaborate with the smaller NGOs, partially subletting the work, sources said.

It will also impact work at the grassroots level, they argue.

“The FCRA bill, 2020 will be a death blow to development relief, scientific research and community support work of the NGO community, as it prohibits collaboration with other Indian organisations,” Voluntary Action Network India (VANI), the apex body of Indian voluntary development organisations, said in a statement on Monday.
