The federal government's failure to renew foreign funding regulation legislation for receiving funding from outside has suspended humanitarian activities and assistance in 16 states, according to Oxfam India. If an organization, private charity, or group wants to accept donations from overseas, it must apply to the Ministry of home Affairs and get certification or accreditation under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act.
The Union home Ministry has suspended the licenses of 6,000 companies, including Oxfam India, delhi Jamia Millia University, delhi IIT, and the Medical Association of India, for failing to renew their FCRA licenses. As a result, these businesses were unable to raise funds from outside the country. Oxfam India's CEO, amitabh Behr, said in a statement:
Our organization's accreditation for abroad funding has been declined by the federal government. We will not be swayed from our resolve to serve the community's marginalized people by the government's decision, and will instead rely on the Constitution's ideals. We will shortly approach the Union home Ministry, requesting that the restriction be lifted, stating that we need to assist marginalized people in times of epidemic and that they should anticipate our assistance. The embargo has had an impact on our humanitarian aid and services in 16 states."
