New FCRA Rules 2026: Why NGOs Need Better Activity Tracking
The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Rules, 2026, notified on 22 June 2026, change how foreign-funded NGOs declare purposes and areas of operation.
- Select purposes from a prescribed Schedule of 105 purposes across 5 categories.
- Specify States and UTs where the organisation intends to operate.
- Existing FCRA-registered organisations have a one-year transition to file via Form FC-6F.
- ₹10 lakh minimum utilisation of foreign contributions over the preceding two FYs applies to the reasonable-activity requirement.
