In recent days, the PM-CARES Fund has found itself mired in controversy. Over the last few days, numerous Opposition leaders as well as activists have hit out at the Modi government, questioning the lack of information surrounding the fund. Set up at the end of March, the fund had attracted a significant amount of money within a short period of time. It however remains unclear exactly how much money has accumulated within it.
So far, an amount of Rs. 3100 crore has been allocated from it. However, there is no concrete data on exactly how much money has been collected as a whole. Some have made independent calculations to suggest that it had crossed the $1.4 billion mark in less than two months after its launch at the end of March. RTI queries have also been blocked, with an applicant being told earlier this year that the Fund was "not a Public Authority under the ambit of Section 2(h) of the RTI Act, 2005".
