The government has suspended Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) licence of Centre for Policy Research (CPR), a leading think tank.
According to a report in the ET, offiical sources confirmed CPR's licence was under scrutiny following Income Tax surveys on CPR and Oxfam India in September 2022. Oxfam India's FCRA licence was revoked in January 2022, after which the non-governmental organisation (NGO) filed a revision petition with the home ministry.
According to the report, officials said that CPR's licence was revoked recently over non-compliance with FCRA norms and the society had filed for renewal. However, modalities are now being worked out
