An official of the directorate of culture, when asked why Lata Mangeshkar award was not conferred since 2018, on the condition of anonymity said "The award is given a year after normally in the month of October. The award for 2019 should have been given in the year 2020 but it couldn't be done because of Covid pandemic. The meetings of the jury got delayed and the name of recipients couldn't be decided. But, notification of the award for the year 2021 has already been issued and the award for 2020 and 2021 would definitely be given in the month of October and for this year also, it could be given then only after the passing away of the legendary singer."
