The Indian government has announced that COVID-19 is a “notified disaster” in addition to a nationwide lockdown of 21 days as the world is facing the horrendous situation of the pandemic coronavirus. Lockdown is needed to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
This lockdown has put daily wage earners in trouble. Therefore, in order to help vulnerable groups in society and fight the health crisis, many people from different fields are donating to the cause of coronavirus. Both the central and state governments have established special relief funds or are accepting contributions from existing relief funds. In addition, some online platforms (Paytm, Razorpay, etc.) and NGOs (Goonj, YouWeCan, etc.) have also accepted donations in response to the current situation. You can donate by:
Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund
- At Prime Minister’s Office, South Block, in cash and through postal order, cheque or demand draft drawn in favour of the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund and via BHIM App/UPI (VPA: pmnrf@centralbank).
- Post/money order from any of the Post Offices, without charges.
- Via collection banks portals and the portal of PMO i.e. pmindia.gov.in.
- Through the cash, cheque or demand draft drawn in favour of the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund deposited with any of the branches of the 26 designated Collection Banks of the PMNRF, mentioning donor details in the challan to be provided by the concerned bank/ branch.
- No charges will be levied by American Express, Diners Club International, Master Card, NPCI and VISA on the contributions being made through debit/credit cards.
The PM-CARES Fund accepts micro-donations too. It will strengthen disaster management capacities and encourage research on protecting citizens.
