New Delhi: Noted lawyer Indira Jaising's NGO 'Lawyers' Collective' was today barred from receiving funds from abroad as its licence was suspended for six months for alleged violation of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).
The Home Ministry, while suspending the licence, asked the NGO to submit its reply within 30 days for violation of various provisions of FCRA after which its registration may even be cancelled.
The 'Lawyers' Collective' has allegedly received foreign contribution between 2006-07 and 2013-14 and the Home Ministry found alleged discrepancy in the filing of annual returns of the NGO where Jaising, who had served as the Additional Solicitor General in UPA government, was functioning as Secretary.
