There are fears that minority institutions could pass into the hands of organisations ideologically aligned with the government.
Assets can be taken over by the designated authority without judicial checks.
The organisation gets no hearing before FCRA renewal is denied, and there is no appeal mechanism until after assets have already been seized.
The courts are structurally locked out while seized property remains vested in the designated authority.
There is also no interim relief mechanism during an appeal, allowing the designated authority to transfer or dispose of seized assets even while an appeal is pending.
