Overall, the RTI responses show, 24 PSUs gave Rs 1 crore or more to the fund from staff salaries.

New Delhi: APART FROM over Rs 2,400 crore in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds, over 100 PSUs from across sectors have together contributed nearly Rs 155 crore from staff salaries to the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations (PM CARES) fund, RTI records accessed by The Indian Express show.

Oil giant ONGC, which gave Rs 29.06 crore to the fund from staff salaries, tops the list of PSUs that responded to RTI queries from The Indian Express. But the contributions also include Rs 11.43 crore from salaries at the ailing BSNL, which was unable to chip in from its CSR funds.

Overall, the RTI responses show, 24 PSUs gave Rs 1 crore or more to the fund from staff salaries.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), which manages the fund, had declined to furnish details of the contributions received. “PM CARES Fund is not a public authority under the ambit of Section 2(h) of the RTI Act. However, relevant information in respect of PM CARES Fund may be seen on the website pmcares.gov.in,” it said in an RTI response.

The fund was set up on March 28 this year following the Covid outbreak and had a corpus of Rs 3,076.62 crore by March 31 itself, of which Rs 3,075.85 crore were listed as “voluntary contributions”, according to the website.
