India's Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill bans proselytizing, tightens assets

Worship sites preserved and penalties reduced

The bill also makes sure that places of worship keep their original purpose, even if an NGO loses its registration, so their assets can't be used for something else.
Penalties are getting lighter too: maximum jail time drops from five years to one.
And now, once an NGO's registration expires, it automatically ends. No more confusion about legal status.

Overall, these updates aim to tighten how foreign-funded NGOs operate and handle their resources in India.
