Modi's cash in hand only Rs4,700; total assets over Rs10 million

New Delhi: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not seem to keep much cash in hand even as his total assets have gone up to Rs14.1 million -- largely due to a residential property that has appreciated by more than 25 times since purchase over 13 years ago.
According to the latest details of his assets disclosed by the Prime Minister's Office, Modi had total 'cash in hand' of just Rs4,700 at the end of the last fiscal, down from Rs38,700 disclosed mid-fiscal as on August 18, 2014.
