Appeal to generously donate to ‘Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM CARES Fund)’

Posted On: 28 MAR 2020 4:36PM by PIB Delhi

The pandemic of COVID-19 has engulfed the entire world and has posed serious challenges for the health and economic security of millions of people worldwide. In India too, the spread of coronavirus has been alarming and is posing severe health and economic ramifications for our country. The Prime Minister’s office has been receiving spontaneous and innumerable requests for making generous donations to support the government in the wake of this emergency. 

Distress situations, whether natural or otherwise, demand expeditious and collective action for alleviating the suffering of those affected, mitigation/control of damage to infrastructure and capacities etc. Therefore, building capacities for quick emergency response and effective community resilience has to be done in tandem with infrastructure and institutional capacity reconstruction/enhancement.  Use of new technology and advance research findings also become an inseparable element of such concerted action.

Keeping in mind the need for having a dedicated national fund with the primary objective of dealing with any kind of emergency or distress situation, like posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and to provide relief to the affected, a public charitable trust under the name of ‘Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund’ (PM CARES Fund)’ has been set up. Prime Minister is the Chairman of this trust and its Members include Defence Minister, Home Minister and Finance Minister.

PM Narendra Modi has always believed and shown in actions that public participation is the most effective way to mitigate any issue and this is yet another example. This fund will enable micro-donations as a result of which a large number of people will be able to contribute with smallest of denominations.

We want relief - MSME owners request to Prime minister

Dear PM & CM,

You have declared a complete closure till 31st March & are requesting all to keep the offices, Shops & Factories closed. Also you are urging the businessmen’s to show sympathy towards the needful employees n pay them.

We would like to understand what are you thinking about the OWNERS? How are you planning on supporting the business class from whom you are demanding this sacrifice?

Because the closure has been announced & the businesses are on a total standstill how will they survive? SALARIES - ON, ELECTRICITY BILL - ON, TAXATION - ON, BANK INTEREST - ON, GST – ON, PF – ON, ESIC – ON, PROPERTY TAX - ON. There is no relief for us. We don’t mind sitting home till 30th April if these expenses are cut off. The government needs to compromise and extend the support directly and immediately to all business.

We recommend the following:

All commercial electricity bills be cut to half for the next 3 months.

Companies be allowed to retain 10 % of GST payable for next 12 months.

Moratorium of interest payments for next 6 months.

All EMI’s to banks and NBFC to be put on hold for 6 months with no levy of interest or delayed payment.

Employee share of the PF not to be paid by the companies but to be borne by government for a period of 6 months.

Employee share of the ESIC not to be paid by the companies but to be borne by government for a period of 6 months.

Property tax for FY2020-21 to be reduced to half for all commercial properties

THE WAY YOU GAVE INTEREST WAIVER TO THE FARMERS DURING DROUGHT SITUATIONS. THIS IS A DROUGHT TIME FOR US  BUSINESSMEN TOO. REST WE WILL TAKE CARE 🙏🏻

PLEASE SHARE TILL IT REACHES THE PM, CM, FM AND FINANCE SECRETARY.
