PM Cares Fund had Rs 8,452 crore corpus by end of FY25, shows audit report

The audited accounts show that for the financial year ended 31 March 2025, the major portion of the fund, ₹6,641 crore, was parked in fixed deposits. This is a departure from the earlier practice of keeping a substantial portion of the money in savings accounts.

Activist Anjali Bharadwaj asked why only 0.01% of the fund, created in 2020 to meet unexpected Covid-19 expenses, had been utilised during the fiscal year.
