Summary: The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill 2026 proposes significant amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010, tightening the regulatory framework for foreign contributions in India. It limits timelines for receipt and utilisation of foreign contribution under the prior permission route, codifying the restrictions that began with government circulars issued in 2025. The Bill also defines the term “key functionaries,” to cover all leadership positions irrespective of organisational structure, exposes key functionaries to personal liability for organisational offences, and imposes on them a statutory duty to report an organisation’s cessation or defunct status. The evolving FCRA landscape requires organisations to review governance structures, identify key functionaries, ensure timely renewals, and maintain complete records to ensure continuing compliance.
