Case for regulation:

Apart from the developments mentioned above, the other reasons are:

The NGO industry has grown at a very fast pace in recent years.

Misuse funds by floating NGOs.

Most NGOs work with inadequately trained professionals.

There is an increasing monopolization of their leadership.

Many are funded by the government, and therefore should be scrutinised

The Supreme Court too, in a recent judgement, has spoken in favour of this step.

Less than 10% submit their accounts with the Registrar of Societies, as mandated by law.

Foreign funded NGOs’ agendas might be antithetical to national interests.
