The Central Govt. in the case titled Gaurav Kumar Bansal v. Union of India informed the Supreme Court that the State Govt. will provide ₹50,000 Ex-Gratia compensation to kin of those who died due to Covid.
The Central Govt. has also informed the Supreme Court that the amount per death will also include those who were involved in relief operation and preparedness activities, subject to the cause of death being certified as Covid-19. The funds will be paid by the States from the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF).
The Central Govt. has further informed the Apex Court that Ex-Gratia will be given, subject to the cause of death being certified as Covid-19 as per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and ICMR.
It was also informed that the concerned families will submit their claims through a form issued by the State Authority along with specified documents including the death certificate that certifies the cause of death to be COVID-19. The DDMA will ensure that the process of claim, verification, sanction and the final disbursement of ex-gratia payment will be through robust yet simple and people friendly procedure.
