The new PM-CARES Fund is eerily similar to "Bharat Ke Veer" fund set up last year after Pulwama attack.
There's no transparency on how that fund was spent. Akshay Kumar founded the trust (later taken on by MHA) & it claims "prominent ppl" decide how it's spent.

There's a similar lack of transparency with the PM-CARES fund. The trustees are anonymous (Home, Finance, & Defense Ministers are "AMONG THE TRUSTEES) which begs the question - who are the others?
There has been no official gazette notification with details either.

Ergo, I've filed an RTI asking details on the trust running PM CARES Fund.
ALSO - Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF) had a balance of 3800 crores as of 2019. Modi could've asked for donations to it
What was the need for PM-CARES when PMNRF already exists?
