The Lok Sabha has adopted a motion to send the Foreign Contribution Regulation Amendment Bill to a Joint Parliamentary Committee. This move comes after appeals from minority groups.
The Foreign Contribution Regulation Amendment Bill, 2026, has been referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee for further review. This decision was made after the Lok Sabha adopted a motion to this effect. The move is seen as a softening of the Centre's stance on the bill, which had faced opposition from minority groups. The Joint Parliamentary Committee will now examine the bill in detail and submit its report to the Parliament. The bill aims to regulate foreign contributions received by Indian organizations.
