The government's Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, proposes severe over-regulation of civil society organizations. It allows automatic asset seizure upon certificate lapse, even for properties only partly built with foreign funds. Organizations lack appeal rights for renewal refusals or prior hearings. This has alarmed minority religious institutions, especially given contradictory government assurances regarding retrospectivity. The Bill enables opaque license withdrawal and property takeover by the Centre. The article advocates for the Joint Parliamentary Committee to redraft the Bill, ensuring fairness, transparency, and due process.
