I would like to add that IBM accessibility requirements – IBM Accessibility also confirms and aligns with our request to make the Curam complaint with 200% zoom.
1.4.4 Resize Text
Copy link for 1.4.4
Text can be resized without assistive technology up to 200 percent without loss of content or functionality.
Rationale
This requirement ensures visually rendered text can be scaled successfully so more users are able to read the information without requiring the use of assistive technology such as a screen magnifier. This increase in size can be achieved either by zooming all content OR by increasing just the text size. In both cases, this resizing is normally achieved by the user agent (i.e., web browser or view controller). The author’s responsibility is to create content that does not prevent the user agent from scaling the content effectively.
To meet this requirement, confirm that scaling works and ensure there are no visual or functional issues as a result of the increase, such as:
a lack of appropriate line wrapping
truncated, overlapped or obscured text
missing scrollbars when content is zoomed
In cases where content fails to respond to the platform’s scaling features authors must provide a way of resizing text.
Note: For some interactive content, such as editable cells in a table, truncation is acceptable if the component’s full content is available on focus or after user activation, and an indication that this information can be accessed is provided to the user in some way besides the fact that it is truncated.
Exception: Media captions and images of text are excluded from this requirement. Resizing the closed captions is normally a feature of the player or platform, not the author’s responsibility. Images of text, which are covered under 1.4.5 Images of text, do not normally scale well.
Refer to Understanding 1.4.4 Resize Text (external link to WCAG 2.1) for more information on exceptions, intent, benefits, and techniques.

Attaching the screenshot mentioned in the previous comment.
I would like to add the below scenario as part of the 200% zoom accessibility issue.
The calendar is cut off at 150% zoom and doesn't have a scrollbar to scroll to the bottom of the calendar. if the user clicks on the page content area scrollbar the calendar is disappeared.
I have attached the screenshot for reference.
