Appeal for donation in Prime Minister CARES Fund to fight against Corona, COVID–19
April 2, 2020

My Fellow Exporter Colleagues,

The COVID-19 pandemic marks an unprecedented time and the world is at a crisis situation. There are thousands of people dying all over the world and the effect is not only on the lives and health of the people, but also have brought the economic momentum to a much lower trajectory. With no cure, yet discovered, the only way to prevent the disease is to stay home and social distancing.
Situation like this would require support to team up with the government initiatives to scale up governmental efforts to fight this epidemic and to help those in distress.

In order to tackle with this pandemic Hon’ble Prime Minister has created a special fund PM CARES to fight against the COVID-19. The donation made to the PM CARES Fund shall be eligible for 100% deduction under section 80G of the IT Act. Further, the limit on deduction of 10% of gross income shall also not be applicable for donation made to PM CARES Fund.

At this moment, the affected people in India will need help to tide over the viral disease and in this scenario, CAPEXIL has decided to stand with our distressed fellow countrymen and actively partake in the national effort to support them at this difficult time. Even the Council official / staff are donating one day of their salary for this noble cause.

To provide much-needed relief for the people affected by the viral disease and those who are in distress, CAPEXIL as partner to Nation Building, appeal to all its Members to donate generously for this noble cause to come out victorious over the common and deadly enemy, COVID-19.

Beneficiary Detail: CAPEXIL
