The Supreme Court today asked the Centre to examine enacting a law to regulate disbursal of public funds to over 32 lakhs NGOs and voluntary organisations and prosecute them in case of misuse or misappropriation. <br/><br/>The apex court, referring to the Centre's recent guidelines on regulating NGOs and voluntary organisations, said they may not truly systematise the entire process of regulating such NGOs since their registration, disbursal of<br/>funds, their use, audit and consequential proceedings in the event of defaults. <br/><br/>A bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar referred to an office memorandum of the Centre and said, the guidelines proposed by the government, may not truly systematize the entire process commencing from accredition of NGOs and encompassing the manner of utilisation of funds and then eventual audit. <br/><br/>The bench, also comprising Justices D Y Chandrachud and Sanjay Kishan Kaul said the court would therefore like the Government to examine and consider giving statutory status to the entire process. It also asked the Centre to apprise it of the stand within eight weeks on making a law on it.
