NEW DELHI: The Modi government is seeking to tweak the proposed amendment to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act ( FCRA ) that will benefit political parties, such as the BJP and Congress. The latest changes being suggested by the home ministry include allowing foreign contributions from companies in sectors where foreign direct investment is allowed.The proposed amendment to section 2 (1) (h) of FCRA, 2010, has been sent to the law and finance ministries for their comments, government officials told ET. As reported by ET in October, the new rules will make funding easier for big political parties.The 2010 Act restricts political parties from accepting contributions from foreign sources. There are also restrictions on donations by companies that are registered in India but majority-held by foreigners.The amendment being brought into the Act seeks to allow foreign companies that are registered in India to contribute to political parties from their corporate social responsibility fund in sectors where FDI is allowed, an official familiar with the matter said.When contacted, a home ministry spokesperson said he would "not like to comment as of now".In November, the government eased FDI restrictions in 15 sectors, including retail, construction, banking, defence and broadcasting.The FCRA rules are being changed to get corporate funding since under the Companies Act, Indian companies are required to spend 2 per cent of their profits on CSR , sources told ET. This will benefit the BJP and Congress, which are under scrutiny for receiving foreign contribution from UK-headquartered Vedanta Industries.On a PIL filed by the Association of Democratic Rights, the Delhi high court had in May 2014 directed the government and Election Commission to take action against the BJP and Congress. The two parties moved the Supreme Court, which has issued notices to the Centre and the EC. Officials said an earlier suggestion to bring in a notification describing any company registered in India as an "Indian company", irrespective of its shareholding pattern, has been turned down during inter-ministerial discussions.
