IndiaThe Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) revealed that only 27.7% of NGOs and associations ever registered under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010, remain active, with the majority having their licenses canceled or deemed expired. Since 2012, 52,159 organizations received FCRA licenses, but only 14,455 are currently active, meaning they can legally receive foreign funds.
