Rs 2,913 Crore From Government Firms to Modi’s PM CARES Fund: Report https://thewire.in/politics/rs-2913-crore-from-government-firms-to-modis-pm-cares-fund-report Government-run firms accounted for 59.3% donations that listed entities made to a private fund run by PM Modi, as per Business Standard. The bulk of the amount seems to have come from corporate India’s CSR budgets in its first year.
scrutiny over CSR spending gains increased significance because of the new norms that were amended by the government in September 2022. These amended norms limit the amount of information that companies have to put out in their annual reports on CSR spends.
The status of PM CARES has been controversial for its nature and the lack of transparency around it. The PMO had told the Delhi high court in January that PM CARES is not a “public authority”.
