Stating that thousands of crore rupees have been donated to the fund, Advocate Waghmare has asserted that the financial details of the fund should be made public. The PIL points out that major donations to the fund includes Rs 1500 crore donation by Ratan Tata and Rs 1225 crore donation by Azim Premji Foundation.
With respect to the donations, Advocate Waghmare also said that instead of the independent auditor, Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) should audit PM-CARES fund.
