CBI raids Oxfam India offices over alleged foreign funding rules violations

New Delhi/IBNS: The Central Bureau of India (CBI) Wednesday is conducting searches at the offices of Oxfam India after registering a case against the NGO and its office-bearers for allegedly violating the provisions of India's foreign funding rules, reports said.

According to the complaint filed with the agency by the Home Ministry, Oxfam India received around Rs. 1.5 crore directly into its Foreign Contribution Utilisation account instead of the designated bank account between 2013 and 2016.

The complaint further alleged that Oxfam India routed Rs. 12.71 lakhs to the Centre for Policy Research (CPR) in the financial year 2019-20 in violation of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA), 2010 rules.

In conducting the searches, the CBI claimed that it acted on a complaint from the Home Ministry, which had suspended Oxfam India's FCRA licence in January last year.

Oxfam India is a part of the global confederation of Oxfam, which works on issues such as poverty, inequality, gender justice and climate change.

The non-governmental organisation has, however, denied any wrongdoing and said that it was cooperating with the authorities.
