Stalin on Tuesday appealed to the general public, charitable institutions and corporates to contribute generously to the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund to help the State government fight the COVID-19 pandemic. In his appeal, Mr. Stalin said Tamil Nadu was in the grip of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this background, I make this personal appeal to all of you to contribute generously to the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund. Such contributions will be entitled to 100% tax exemption under Section 80 (G) of the Income Tax Act. Foreign contributions by NRIs or foreign entities are exempted under section 50 of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010.
