Kolkata/New Delhi.

After this the situation has been clarified by the Union Home Ministry. The Home Ministry said that Mother Teresa’s application for renewal of FCRA license of Missionaries of Charity was rejected on December 25 for not fulfilling the eligibility conditions under FCRA 2010 and Foreign Contribution Regulation Rules 2011. One of the reasons given by the Home Ministry for rejecting the application for renewal of license is that it had received negative reports. However, it has not been told what is the negative report.
