The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has cancelled the FCRA registration of Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI), an international NGO that works for human rights in Commonwealth countries.
FCRA registration is mandatory for any NGO or association to receive foreign funds.
The NGO’s Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) registration was suspended for 180 days on June 7, 2021 due to alleged violations. The suspension was extended again in December for 180 days.
