The Central Government is expected to table the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026 (FCRA Amendment Bill) in the Lok Sabha during the upcoming week of the ongoing Monsoon Session, according to official sources. The proposed legislation is likely to be one of the key items on Parliament’s agenda as the government continues to move forward with its legislative plans.
Government Likely to Introduce FCRA Amendment Bill in Parliament Next Week
The Monsoon Session, which began on July 20, has witnessed repeated disruptions due to opposition protests over police action during the ‘Sansad Chalo’ demonstration held on the opening day of the session. Despite the frequent interruptions, the government is preparing to introduce several important bills in both Houses of Parliament.
