The Prime Minister's Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM CARES Fund) was created on 28 March 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The fund will be used for combating coronavirus and similar things in the future. The Prime Minister is the chairman of the trust. Members will include the defence, home and finance ministers. The fund will also enable micro-donations. The PM CARES fund is different from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF), which was created in 1948 and has been used by the Union government ever since, even during the recent 2013 North India floods, the 2015 South Indian floods and the 2019 Kerala floods. Shashi Tharoor tweeted soon after the fund was announced that the fund was not transparent, "why not simply rename PMNRF as PM-CARES [...] instead of creating a separate Public Charitable Trust whose rules & expenditure are totally opaque?" Immediately after the fund was created a number of fake accounts popped up. While the original UPI account was PMCARES@SBI, Delhi Police booked fraudsters for creating an account removing the 'S', PMCARE@SBI, intended to scam people.
