"Discouraging NGO Activities": Top Court Raps Centre On Foreign Fund Law https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/discouraging-ngo-activities-supreme-court-raps-centre-on-foreign-fund-law-2591585
The court also raised questions on the amendment, which restricts transfer of foreign contributions received by one NGO to another.
The Centre had earlier told top court that the amendments have been made only for better regulation and monitoring of inflow and outflow of foreign funds. .."Genuine NGOs need not shy away from any regulatory compliance," the government told the court.
Additional Solicitor General Sanjay Jain, who was representing the Centre, told the court today that transfer of (money from) one organisation to another will lead to a "perverted situation".
"Money is passed to another NGO over whom they have no control," he added, arguing that similarity in ideology or work process is "not good for regulation purposes".
