Modi govt likely to send FCRA Bill to Joint Parliamentary Committee for detailed scrutiny: Sources

The government is likely to refer the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026 (FCRA) to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) for detailed examination, sources said on Tuesday. The move comes amid concerns raised by the Opposition over the provisions of the FCRA Amendment Bill.

The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, has so far not been



listed on the agenda of the Lok Sabha for consideration and passing, but the government indicated earlier that it could be taken up on August 12. 

Earlier on August 7, the FCRA Bill will be taken up for discussion and passage in Parliament on August 12 and will not be implemented retrospectively, Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma said after meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
