"But despite this long Christian history, India's Parliament is considering amending Foreign Contribution Regulation Amendment (FCRA) rules to permit government takeovers of churches and religious charities." Its ambit includes charities, educational institutions, religious bodies and non-governmental organisations that receive funding from overseas. The proposed amendment seeks to change how institutions, including NGOs, trusts, educational institutions and religious bodies, receive foreign contributions. The authority would take over the management of foreign contributions and assets created using those contributions if an organisation's FCRA registration is cancelled, surrendered or ceases because it is not renewed. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, 13,520 organisations received foreign contributions amounting to Rs 55,741 crore between 2019 and 2022.
