As FCRA restricts NGOs, Supreme Court had agreed that right to associate is not carte blanche for foreign funds

The Supreme Court's agreement with the Centre regarding the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Rules, 2026, emphasizes that the right to associate does not extend to receiving unrestricted foreign funds. This ruling is significant as it aims to regulate the flow of foreign contributions to NGOs, ensuring that funds are used for permissible activities only. The implications of this decision are vital for maintaining national security and sovereignty, making it a crucial topic for competitive exams.
