The Meghalaya government has unveiled updated FCRA guidelines aimed at balancing regulatory oversight with institutional continuity and simplifying compliance for NGOs.
The Meghalaya government has announced new guidelines under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) to streamline the process for non‑governmental organisations.
The guidelines aim to maintain regulatory oversight while ensuring that institutions can continue their work without undue administrative burden.
Officials said the changes will reduce paperwork and speed up approvals, helping NGOs focus on their programmes.
The guidelines will apply to all FCRA‑registered entities operating in Meghalaya and will take effect following the official gazette notification.
The move follows a review of the national FCRA framework and is expected to improve transparency and compliance while supporting the sector.
