Tax crackdown draws links between NGOs — in cause and funding pattern
- Two NGOs pursued litigation “stalling economic and development” projects of the country, including those of Adani Group and JSW.
- More than 75% funding of four NGOs during a five-year period came from abroad, which is shaping their activities in India.
- The president of one NGO is a shareholder of another.
These are among the key allegations, mainly linking process and personnel, listed by the Income Tax Department following its crackdown on five major NGOs, including the country’s premier think tank Centre for Policy Research (CPR) and the multinational confederation Oxfam
