Key functionaries and scope-based registration reshape foreign contribution compliance under the amended rules. The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Rules, 2026 revise the registration and compliance framework by replacing repeated references to office bearers and governing body members with the broader concept of key functionaries, inserting a definition of that expression, and requiring applications and certificates to specify the purposes and States or Union territories covered. The amendments also link instalment release to seventy-five per cent utilisation of the previous instalment, introduce a deemed standard of reasonable activity for cancellation and renewal, and add detailed reporting, disclosure, and form requirements, including a mechanism for changing the scope of registration. A new Schedule expands the permissible purposes for registration across religious, cultural, economic, educational, and social domains.
