New Delhi:
The FCRA licence for Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity was restored Saturday, according to an entry in the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act website, two weeks after the Home Ministry cited “adverse inputs” to refuse a renewal request by the Kolkata-based organisation.
The loss of the license – needed to receive and use charitable contributions from abroad – left the group, which operates orphanages and shelters for the poor, sick, and destitute in India, unable to access foreign funds stored in over 250 accounts.
No statement has been made by the government so far, but news agency ANI said the licence was restored after “necessary documents (were submitted) to concerned department”.
