Mother Teresa’s Charity Barred From Receiving Foreign Funds

The Indian government has banged for charity missionaries, Catholic religious organizations and philanthropic organizations begun by Mother Teresa, from accessing foreign donations because they do not meet the feasibility conditions under the local law, the home of the Ministry of Home.

Amal, founded by the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950, has a head office in Kolkata and works with some of the poorest and poor people in the country.

The Group application to renew the license to continue to get foreign funds under the Regulatory Law on foreign contributions “was rejected on December 25, 2021 because it did not meet the conditions of feasibility,” the ministry said in a statement Monday. “There is no request request / revision that has been received from the Charity (MOC) missionary to review the rejection of this update.”

Christian Charity confirmed in a statement that the FCRA application update has not been approved and has requested the center not to operate an account of foreign contributions until this problem is resolved. The ministry statement does not provide details about the rules of what the group has visited.

This is not the first time that charity organizations or rights groups have lost the license to get money for their activities from foreign donors. Because in power in 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declined in hundreds of NGOs. Last year Amnesty International closed his Indian operations after accusing the government “constant abuse,” including freezing his bank account.

Mamata Banerjee, Chair of the West Bengal Minister, Tweet to say that he was “shocked” the central government had blocked group access to his bank account on Christmas Day.
