New Delhi, April 6: The Ministry of Home Affairs has recommended a CBI probe against Oxfam India for alleged violation of Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act 2010.
Even while the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Act 2020, which forbids such transfers, was in effect, Oxfam India continued to transfer foreign funds to numerous organisations. It reportedly broke the terms of the FCRA, 2010, by transferring money to other NGOs.

The home ministry’s decision to not renew Oxfam’s FCRA registration in 2021 prevented it from receiving international funds. The permit was revoked due to a breach of the rules on foreign funding.
The Income Tax agency conducted a study at Oxfam’s Delhi headquarters in September of last year on alleged FCRA violations in funds received by the charity.
According to its website, Oxfam India works with the general public to pressure governments to modify their policies in order to build the kind of fair and inclusive nation that the Indian Constitution calls for.
