In addition, MHA has made several amendments in the FCRA regulations 2010. There were number of NGO/VOs which are facing FCRA related issues and are unaware about new amendments and its regulation too.
In July 2017, around 5922 FCRA registered organization received show cause notice regarding cancellation.
