Ohh it is aid, in form of a emergency loan(which has to be and will be paid back) and not charity or alms, which Pakistani PM is asking for.

New Delhi to accept foreign aid to deal with covid-19 pandemic crisis
1 min read . Updated: 02 Apr 2020, 01:13 AM ISTElizabeth Roche
NEW DELHI : India on Wednesday said it has set aside the decision of not accepting foreign aid in case of calamities and disasters and will now accept contributions from abroad to the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations (PM CARES) Fund to combat the covid-19 pandemic.
The decision, taken in view of the devastating impact of the coronavirus contagion, seems to signal a shift from India’s decade-and-a-half-old stance of not accepting foreign assistance during calamities. “We have to understand that this pandemic is something that is unprecedented and when the PM spoke to our ambassadors and high commissioners, he asked them to make efforts so that contributions are made to this fund. So, a decision was made to accept contributions from abroad,"a person familiar with the matter said.
Modi held a meeting with Indian envoys from across the world via video link on Monday and instructed them to “suitably publicize the new PM-CARES Fund to mobilize donations from abroad".
Modi announced the PM CARES Fund last month. “Keeping in mind the need for having a dedicated national fund with the primary objective of dealing with any kind of emergency or distress situation, like posed by the covid-19 pandemic, and to provide relief to the affected, a public charitable trust under the name of PM CARES Fund has been set up," his office had then said.
Last Friday, the US had announced $174 million financial assistance to 64 countries, including $2.9 million to India, to help fight covid-19. India also accepted material contributions made by the Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation. “The second batch of donation from Chinese charity organizations Jack Ma and Alibaba Foundations arrived in Delhi today and was received by the Indian Red Cross Society. The donation includes protective clothes, masks, respirators and ventilators," Chinese ambassador to India Sun Weidong said on Twitter.
“...the Chinese people will stand firmly with the Indian people on the fight against COVID19 and we’ll get through hard times together," he said in a second post on Tuesday.

This is not begging, this called taking a loan from bank to be returned with interest.
This is called begging.

PMIK is being smart. Read the article I linked. Its not a loan its USA aid. USA would only give emergency aid if India asked for it behind closed doors.
Oh you are talking about $2.9 million financial assistance to NGOs and donations to red cross ?

India seeks $6 billion of loans from ADB, AIIB to fight coronavirus pandemic

India is seeking as much as $6 billion of loans from multilateral institutions such as the Asian Development Bank to bolster its efforts to fight the coronavirus outbreak, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The World Bank has already committed $1 billion, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is in talks with Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and ADB, the people said, asking not to be identified because the details haven’t been finalized.
India needs to rapidly scale up testing for the virus to head off the disease from infecting more people in the world’s most populated nation after China. Proceeds including from the World Bank will be used to acquire testing kits and ventilators, turning hospital beds into intensive care unit beds as well as for buying personal protective equipment for health care workers.
Spokesmen at India’s Ministry of Finance, AIIB and ADB weren’t immediately available for comment.
The pandemic isn’t just a “health challenge," Junaid Ahmad, the World Bank’s India director said in a statement. “It has deep social and economic implications. In parallel, we are working with equal urgency with government on social protection programs and economic measures that protect the livelihoods of people."
With train and bus services largely suspended, migrant workers in the nation have been walking hundreds of kilometers to get back to their villages. There’s concern the people, who work as laborers in India’s cities, will be taking the virus back to the hinterland with them.
Hence the need to rapidly boost testing. The number of tests in India stood at just 66,000 on April 3, about one-thirtieth the pace of the US and even further behind that of top testing countries like South Korea.
Meanwhile, Modi on Friday asked citizens to light candles on April 5 evening to “challenge the darkness" of the coronavirus.
