New Delhi, Nov 5: IRF Educational Trust, promoted by Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, has been put under prior permission category, thus preventing it from receiving foreign funds without getting nod from the central government.
In a gazette notification, the Home Ministry said that on the basis of records available and reports received from intelligence agencies, it found that the IRF Education Trust has violated various provisions of the Foreign Contribution Regulations Act (FCRA) 2010.
"Now, therefore, the central government in exercise of powers conferred by sub-section (3) of section 11 of the FCRA 2010, hereby specifies that the IRF Education Trust shall obtain prior permission of the central government on each occasion before accepting any foreign contribution in accordance with the provisions of section 12 of the Act and rules made thereunder," the notification said.
The move came after different investigations found Naik to be "involved" in utilising funds meant for his NGOs for alleged radicalisation of youths and "inspiring" them into terror activities, official sources said.
Government is also in the process of cancellation of the FCRA registration of Islamic Research Foundation, another NGO promoted Zakir Naik, and a final show cause notice to the organisation has already been issued.
Interestingly, the IRF's registration under the FCRA was renewed in September inadvertently despite multiple probes against Naik, leading to suspension of a Joint Secretary and four other officials in the Home Ministry.
Government is also planning to declare IRF as an unlawful association under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and a nod from the Union Cabinet is awaited for it.
According to a draft note, which is based on the inputs from Maharashtra Police, Naik, who heads the IRF and IRF Educational Trust, has allegedly made many provocative speeches and engaged in terror propaganda.
Maharashtra Police has also registered criminal cases against Naik for his alleged involvement in “radicalisation of youths and luring them into terror activities,” a source said.

Dear Dsouza,
ZN is a famous world orator.. He is saying there is only ONE GOD and worship him alone. He also mentions that it is also mentioned in all of the scriptures of other religion...
If U think this is LIES ... I think U need to VERIFY by yourself into the QUotes ZN mentions in all his speeches...
God has given U intellect ... Y cant U verify what he says... without verifying the fact.. We know U are just slandering him in IGNORANCE... which U will regret later
So Please take a look at what he says and dont just sit.. GO and use your intellect to know about the CREATOR of all that exists and learn What messages did his messengers conveyed..
All of sudden Zakir naik Fate changed.....This is what happens when someone speaks lot of lies. This man doesnt know what he speaks. I dont know whether he has encouraged terrorists or no, but this guy speaks a lot of lies i have seen his speech.
It is RSS agenda. All the above instructions are coming from Nagpur Head Office. They simple scare about their existance. Dr. Naik is revealing truth mentioned in vedas and other hindu scripts. These RSS brahmins are keep on fooling hindus by hiding the truth.
Satya meva jayathe ,.. one day... the day will come soon,.
There is or no such complaint or provocative speech or
words or language able to find from Dr.Zakir Naik side. This is one type of force full act on Dr.Zakir Naik. For sake of debate with religious topic,i think nobody is capable to sit in front of Mr.Zakir Naik. There are many countless Swamy,Guru,Priests,Mullaas but no one is studied about all religions HOLY BOOK. Else there was a wide open discussion chance to see. Present so called leaders are not even aware of their religion and the base. Just fooling, now our present rss backing govt also playing non sense policy and planning to ban great scholar Dr.Zakir Naik.
Shame on Ruling Party.
Jai Hind !
Whatever Evil plans the cheddis do to stop the TRUTH ...
We honest people are not worried..
WE believe everything happens with the will of ALLAH and ALLAH is the best of Planner...
With ALLAHs permission & his MERCY U may enjoy a few cheers but
your Stupidity will come to light VERY SOON... In SHAA ALLAH.
TRUTH HAS (NOW) ARRIVED, AND FALSEHOOD PERISHED: FOR FALSEHOOD (by its nature) IS BOUND TO PERISH. Allah is watching, In sha Allah our prayers with Almighty Allah to give victory to Dr. Zakir Naik & IRF, Aameen.
