Licences of around 20,000 of 33,000 NGOs have been cancelled by the government after they were found to be violating various provisions of the FCRA, thus barring them from receiving foreign funds. This was conveyed to Home Minister Rajnath Singh during a review of the Foreigners Division of the Home Ministry here today.
Home Ministry officials said after cancellation of FCRA licences of around 20,000 NGOs, only 13,000 are legally valid now to receive foreign funds.
