PM-CARES is a Public Charitable Trust. The Prime Minister is the Chairman & members include DM, HM & FM.

Stated Objective: dealing with any kind of emergency or distress situation, like posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and to provide relief to the affected.

So far so good

A few questions -

1. When was it decided to form of a Public Charitable Trust?

2. Compelling reasons to do so ?

3. Advantages of forming a new PCT as against the existing PMNRF ?

4. Where do we get to see / read the bye-laws ?

5. Under which Act it is registered ?

6. WHen & where the registration happened ?

7. Did the sub-registrar visit the Prime Minister's residence of did the PM travel to Sub-Registrar's Office?

8. Is the Settler / Chairman - PM of India or Narendra Modi ?

9. Other memebers - in personal names or Official capacity?

10. What is the registered office address of the PM-CARES Trust ?

And I've NOT even examined the legal aspects yet.

That's sometime later in the day.

11. Why are cronies like Akshay Canada Kumar, Vijay PayTM, Jay BCCI Shah etc falling over each other to donate to this freshly baked Public Charitable Trust instead of the Institutionalised PMNRF ?

Have you forgotten the PayTM ads featuring Modi on the next day of #DeMo?
