According to several sources, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs recommended the Central Bureau of Investigation on Thursday to investigate allegations that Oxfam India violated the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act of 2010. Even after registering under the FCRA, which forbids such transfers, the Home Ministry discovered that Oxfam India distributes foreign donations to a variety of businesses. This is in violation of the FCRA.
Multiple emails were discovered during an investigation that the Income Tax Department carried out. These emails revealed that Oxfam India is allegedly planning to circumvent the provisions of the FCRA by routing funds to other FCRA-registered associations or through the for-profit consultancy route, according to sources. The Income Tax Department carried out the investigation.
The poll further asserts that Oxfam India is likely a tool of the foreign policy of foreign organizations or companies, who are the ones that have provided Oxfam India with substantial funding during the course of its existence.
According to some of these sources, Oxfam India is suspected of funneling money to the Centre for Policy Research (CPR) in the form of commissions paid to its colleagues and employees.
Oxfam India is a charitable organisation that works to empower women, promote the education of children, and combat injustice in India.
