Indian Supreme Court orders authorities to pay compensation to relatives of those who died from COVID-19 at $672
On October 4, 2021, the Supreme Court of India ordered the authorities to pay compensation to the relatives of those who died from COVID-19 at $672. The ruling by India's Supreme Court follows a petition by lawyers seeking compensation under India's disaster management laws. The court added that compensation must be paid within 30 days of the family applying.
As of October 6, 2021, more than 447,000 deaths from COVID-19 were officially registered in India, but experts believe that 10 times more people could die during the pandemic. They came up with different estimates, looking at the excess of deaths and a measure of how many people are dying than might be expected compared to 2014-2019.
In 2005, it was adopted for effective disaster management, including the preparation of mitigation strategies, capacity building and compensation for dead, injured and damaged property. According to the law, cash assistance in the amount of $5.3 thousand must be paid to the family of people who died as a result of a natural disaster.
 | We know that the government has spent a lot of money fighting the pandemic. But we still believe that the government should have paid $5.3 thousand in compensation to each affected family in accordance with the law, or they could have given a large amount to poor families, and less to wealthy ones. The government could improve the situation. You allocate funds to combat hail, floods, etc., now you must add COVID-19. It's not that only one state has suffered from it - this is a pandemic!, Gaurav Kumar Bansal, one of the authors of the petition, said. |  |
According to the federal government, compensation will be paid to the immediate relatives of the deceased from COVID-19, provided that the cause of death is confirmed as COVID-19 in accordance with the guidelines. Funds for the payment of compensation will be provided by the states.
At least two states of Kerala and Rajasthan have said that compensation payments will put pressure on their coffers and that the funds should be provided by the federal government. In August 2021, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sent a letter to the states saying it was unclear how much money should be allocated for compensation as the pandemic is not over yet. It also states that financial prudence requires that we plan in such a way that help can be provided to more people if the number of deaths increases.
Some states, such as Karnataka, have already announced increased compensation in the amount of $1.3 thousand to the families of poor people who died from COVID-19. Sixteen families have already received payments by early October 2021.[1]
