Mumbai: The Mumbai Police will now be able to accept donations from corporates. As per a government resolution (GR) issued by the Maharashtra government on Tuesday, the Mumbai Police can accept donations from all private firms.

The funds will be gathered as a part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by the private firms. The amount collected will be used for up a welfare foundation for police personnel. 

However, the state government has specifically stated in its circular that there shall be no conflict of interest while collecting the donations. It has also said that donations will be accepted only from people or organisations which have "high credibility".
