Mr. Rao declared that he has deposits to the tune of ₹11.63 crore in different banks as of November 2. This is almost double the ₹5.63 crore he had shown in the election affidavit submitted in 2018.

Movable assets in the name of his wife Kalvakuntla Shoba grew from ₹94.59 lakh in 2018 to ₹6.29 crore in the last five years.
