NEW DELHI: Union home minister Rajnath Singh has approved a substantial hike in compensation awarded by the government to families of civilians killed in communal, terrorist and Naxal violence.
An amount of Rs 5 lakh, up from the existing Rs 3 lakh compensation, shall be given for each death or permanent incapacitation under the Central Scheme for Assistance to Civilian Victims of Terrorist, Communal and Naxal Violence.
The proposal for enhanced financial compensation under the 2008 scheme of the Union home ministry was approved by Singh on Thursday. The revised Rs 5 lakh relief to be given for each civilian death/permanent incapacitation on account of riots, terror attacks or Left-wing extremism violence, will be put in a fixed deposit account in a nationalized bank. As per the existing scheme, it would have a minimum lock-in period of 3 years, or if there are only minor children in the family, till the eldest child attains the agent of majority, whichever is later.
The interest on the compensation is credited directly by the bank to the beneficiary's saving account on a quarterly basis.
At the end of the lock-in period, the principal amount is transferred directly to the saving account of the beneficiary. In case the beneficiary dies or is permanently incapacitate, his or her next of kin gets to operate the account.
In case of permanent incapacitation, the victim himself becomes the beneficiary. He or she can declare a nominee to operate the account if not in a position to do so himself or herself.
The beneficiaries must be identified by a district level committee headed by district magistrate/collector or deputy commissioner. The committee is tasked with verifying the eligibility for assistance under the scheme after examining the police report/FIR, death-cum-postmortem certificate in the event of death and medical certificate in the event of permanent incapacitation, and the eligibility certificate issued by district SP in case of Naxal violence.
The district committee must send its recommendations to the Union home ministry, as far as possible, within a month of receipt of claim for assistance to victims or family of terrorist or communal violence. The district collector may also recommend assistance under the scheme on his own, with suitable justification.
As per the existing scheme, the MHA must process the claim within three weeks upon receipt of recommendations of the district committee. It may then issue the cheque in the name of the beneficiary and send it to the district magistrate concerned, with a letter of sanction.
