According to the Economic Times, the Union home ministry's website mentions that the number of organisations with active FCRA licences – necessary to receive foreign contributions – stood at 16,352 as on March 26, 2023, down from 16,727 on August 12, 2022.
The action has been taken on the basis of an inquiry by an inter-ministerial committee constituted by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2020. After the investigation against Rajiv Gandhi Foundation and Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust, the FCRA license has been canceled by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
