India has rebutted US criticism of its proposed FCRA Amendment Bill, 2026, with Ambassador Vinay Mohan Kwatra issuing a 'Myth vs Reality' clarification.

It notes foreign contributions to registered NGOs rose to $2.67 billion in 2024-25, and only about 14,450 of millions of NGOs are FCRA-registered.
