Oxfam India is under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation for allegedly violating FCRA rules by receiving Rs 1.5 crore of foreign funding between 2013 and 2016.
The NGO allegedly routed funds from foreign affiliates to selected NGOs and exercised control over funds and projects.
The CBI claims that Oxfam India planned to pressurize the Indian Government for FCRA renewal through foreign governments and organizations.
The investigative agencies have recovered email communication that establishes Oxfam India's plans to pressurize the Indian Government.
The investigation has caused trouble for Oxfam India, which has faced criticism for its handling of sexual harassment allegations against staff members in the past.
Oxfam India has stated that it is cooperating with the investigation and has denied any wrongdoing.
The investigation highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in the nonprofit sector in India, especially when it comes to foreign funding and project management.
