The water level in flood-hit Kerala has started to recede, but rebuilding the southern Indian state could take years.
After all, the calamity, the worst Kerala has seen in a century, has displaced over a million people who are currently staying at relief camps.
As the rains ease, the focus will be on aiding those whose houses and livelihoods were destroyed, a scale of rebuilding which will require billions of dollars.
For those who want to contribute towards the cause but don’t know how, here’s a guide:
Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund
Monetary contributions can be transferred directly to the Kerala government’s bank account with the State Bank of India.
Account-holder name: Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund
Bank: State Bank of India
Account number: 67319948232
IFSC: SBIN0070028
Branch: City Branch, Trivandrum
UPI: keralacmdrf@sbi
Donations can be made through cards, real-time mobile payments interface UPI, mobile wallets, internet banking, cheques, or demand drafts.
The Kerala government has also created an online donation channel (here) that accepts VISA, Mastercard, Rupay, and other international cards, besides net banking.
Another way to transfer money is via mobile-payments platform Paytm. The company has added a “donate” icon to the home screen of its app and website through which money can be transferred. Paytm has also said it will match the donations users make with an equal contribution from its side. On Aug. 18, the company said donations from its platform had crossed Rs10 crore ($1.4 million).
Contributions to the relief fund are exempt from taxation under India’s Income Tax Act.
