The State Government has launched an online application portal for the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (CMRF) to prevent misuse of funds and ensure they reach deserving beneficiaries. This initiative, announced by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, aims to streamline the process of providing financial assistance to those in need.
Local ministers, MLAs, MPs, and MLCs have been given login IDs to access the CMRF portal and enter details of patients seeking assistance. This step will help verify the accuracy of certificates submitted by victims and ensure funds are allocated to the right recipients. The online portal, developed with the help of the Center for Good Governance, will centralize the application process and improve transparency in fund distribution.
Applicants must upload recommendation letters from local representatives and bank account details on the website. After submission, a unique code for the CMRF application will be provided, and original medical bills must be submitted to the Secretariat for verification. The application will then be sent to respective hospitals for confirmation before approval.
Once approved, a check with the beneficiary’s account number printed on it will be prepared and handed over to the applicants by their representatives. This measure aims to prevent check misplacement and ensure funds reach the intended recipients promptly.
The online portal for CMRF applications is a step towards efficient and transparent fund distribution, addressing concerns of past fund diversion. The government’s commitment to accountability and fairness in fund allocation is evident through this new initiative.
