GK and monthly revision
31-member parliamentary panel to review FCRA Bill
Lok Sabha passed a motion to refer the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill to a 31-member Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) amid Opposition demands for its withdrawal. The panel is mandated to submit its report in the first week of the Winter Session. This development is significant as FCRA regulates foreign funding to NGOs and has been a contentious issue regarding civil society space and national security. For competitive exams, it highlights legislative process, parliamentary committees, and Centre-NGO dynamics.
