Hope all bogus NGOs get the same treatment and wind up. If some money can be recovered, it will be the icing on the cake.

The Union Home Ministry has cancelled the permission granted to an organisation under the Catholic Church in Kerala to collect foreign contributions after a probe found that it violated rules.
The Kerala Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services (KCCRS) was found to have transferred "almost the entire” foreign contribution it received between May 2008 and February 2012 to another organisation "Jeevana Samridhi”, which does not have the required registration to receive such funds.
The KCCRS has transferred Rs 34,19,944 to "Jeevana Samridhi” in Ernakulam district. "Jeevana Samridhi” is neither registered under Foreign Contributions Regulation Act (FCRA) nor received prior permission for receiving such money. The Kerala Catholic Bishop’s Council (KCBC), the apex body of Catholic Church in the state, recognises the KCCRS.
"The KCCRS had acted as a conduit for transfer of foreign contribution to Jeevana Samridhi,” the Foreigners Division of the Home Ministry said in its order.
