In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic we had seen people suffering from financial crisis to fulfill all their medical needs and other assistance and that at time our Hon’ble Prime minister had asked all the citizens to donate as much as possible to the The Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (i.e. PM CARES Fund) so that more and more people could be helped using the fund received.
Many of us have contributed to the PM cares fund and many private or government companies have contributed to such funds wherein all the employees had also contributed to such funds in small amounts.
Let’s discuss about the basic details of the PM Cares fund and then we shall discuss about the taxation details of the PM cares fund:
