State-owned Bank of Maharashtra on Saturday said its employees have contributed Rs 5 crore towards the PM-CARES Fund to support the government in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
The employees of the bank have decided to give up their one-day salary and two days of leave encashment to contribute towards the fund, a release said.
The bank has also been nominated by the government for collection of donations for the PM-CARES Fund.
Contributions can be made by RTGS, NEFT, IMPS, cheques and demand drafts drawn in favour of the PM-CARES Fund, the bank said.
