The NGOs include the Diocesan Society Church of North, Jesus and Mary Delhi Educational Society, Delhi Diocese Overseas Grant Fund, Institute of Economic Growth (IEG), Samuel Foundation Charitable India Trust and Hemophilia Federation of India (HFI). Earlier this month, the home ministry had revoked the FCRA licences of five leading NGOs on charges of violations.
The home ministry had granted a six-month extension to several NGOs listed above in September last year. The licences were cancelled on March 30 this year and they will neither receive nor utilise the foreign contribution until the certificate is renewed, officials added.
The government has cancelled the registrations of 228 non-government organisations (NGOs) in the last four years between 2017 and 2021 over different reasons including violation of conditions, Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque told the parliament today.
