77 NGOs have come to adverse notice on a prima facie basis so far. No Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) contravention has so far been noticed by the Enforcement Directorate against any NGOs. Prior to the meeting of the Economic Intelligence Council (EIC) in January 2010, a need was expressed for a mechanism to track, collate and analyze inward foreign remittances. Subsequently, a sub-committee was constituted within the Central Economic Intelligence Bureau (CEIB), which comprised representatives from Intelligence Bureau (IB), Enforcement Directorate (ED), Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Central Economic Intelligence Bureau (CEIB). The Subgroup had recommended that IB share a negative list with FIU for further dissemination with reporting entities to track foreign remittances to organizations/ individuals.

Government will continue to see that the joint mechanism takes up the closer monitoring, so that each individual case is taken to its logical conclusion in a timely manner as per provisions of law. 

This was stated by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Shri Mullappally Ramachandran in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today. Tracking foreign remittances: joint monitoring mechanism to flag NGOs and share negative list with reporting entities. An interagency monitoring framework has been established to track inward foreign remittances to NGOs, with 77 NGOs on a prima facie adverse notice list and no FEMA contraventions reported by the Enforcement Directorate. A CEIB sub committee recommended that the Intelligence Bureau share a negative list with the Financial Intelligence Unit for dissemination to reporting entities to enable targeted tracking, and the Government has directed continued joint monitoring to ensure timely legal and procedural follow up of flagged cases.
