Two Prime Ministers and Two Approaches Towards Public Money

The people felt betrayed by their own elected government.

However, there have been some exceptions to the above commonly held perception.

Some people have held former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as a beacon of personal integrity even when there were grave allegations of scams against his government.

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi was conferred Seoul Peace Award for 2018, he also had received a cash prize of Rs 1.3 crore.

In a related development, “On March 6, the Central Bureau of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had granted exemption under section 10 (17A) (i) of the Income Tax Act to the Seoul Peace Prize for the assessment year of 2019-20,” said an Economic Times report.

Thus, the prize money received by the PM Modi was exempted from tax.
