As per news report of NDTV, "As per the list released by the Ministry of Home Affairs on January 1, 2022, Oxfam India's FCRA registration renewal request has been denied... which means that Oxfam India will not be able to receive foreign funds for any of its work in India (effective immediately)," the group said. Amitabh Behar, Oxfam India's CEO, said the Home Ministry's decision would hamper the organisation's efforts in providing relief to those who needed it the most during times of crisis.
