Centre May Refer FCRA Amendment Bill to Joint Parliamentary Committee

The Union government is considering referring the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) Amendment Bill to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) following pressure from opposition parties.

The decision comes as the government seeks to navigate legislative hurdles and address concerns regarding the proposed amendments to the foreign funding regulations.

The Times of India reported that the move is being weighed as a strategy to build consensus on the bill amid ongoing parliamentary discussions.
