How to donate online to Kashmir flood affected People ?

This article provides an easy to use how to guide for donating online from our bank account to Kashmir flood affected People through Prime Minister National Relief Fund

The flood water may have receded but damage in Jammu and Kashmir is unprecedented in more than hundred years that would run into “many thousands of crores” as described by Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mr.Omar Abdullah.

Hundreds of people have died and it has wreaked havoc in the lives of many.  Overflowing and breach in the embankments of the Jhelum and Chenab rivers have damaged infrastructure and homes, apart from the human casualties. There is a looming humanitarian crisis as thousands of survivors are at risk due to lack of food, water, medicine and safe shelter.

In the meantime, Prime Minister Mr.Narendra Modi has made an appeal to all Indians to donate generously to the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund (PMNRF) for the flood-affected people in Jammu and Kashmir.

Payment may be made by cheque /draft in the name of “Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund” and sent to the PMO (Address : South Block, Raisina Hill, New Delhi-110011, Phone +91-11-23012312 Fax +91-11-23019545,23016857)

There is no DD Commission in respect of demand drafts favouring the PMNRF.
