5 July 2023 | Newslaundry
The Income Tax department has revoked the tax exemption status granted to the Centre for Policy Research, the Hindu reported yesterday.
The Delhi-based think tank’s office had been “surveyed” by the IT department in September last year over alleged irregularities in funding. CPR issued a statement on September 9 saying it had “done nothing wrong”, “has all requisite approvals and sanctions”, and was “authorised by the government as a recipient under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act”.
