Similarly, relief of RS16,500 against death of cow, buffalo, camel etc has been increased to Rs 30,000 per animal.
Earlier, relief of RS20,000 was given against irreparable damage to kuccha houses. Now, it has been increased 95,000.

Relief in case of over 50 per cent damage to kuchcha house has also been increased from 3,800 to RS95,100.
Now, RS59,100 relief instead of RS43,500 will be given on suffering 40 to 60 per cent disability and RS2 lakh instead of RS62,500 against over 60 per cent disability.
limit of financial powers to sanction relief under RBC 6-4 has also been enhanced. Now, divisional commissioner can sanction over RS5 lakh, collector upto RS5 lakh, SDO up to RSone lakh and tahasildar upto RS50,000.
