While 89 per cent of the Covid -19 victims' families have received ex-gratia of Rs 50,000, there will be no requirement for death certificates and surviving member certificates from families, Delhi Government said on Friday.
The remaining set of victims' families will also get this amount by Wednesday.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal chaired a high level meeting scheme and commended the officers for working round the clock to help the bereaved families.
He also directed the officials to complete the disbursal of the monthly pension of 2,500 rupees to all the beneficiaries within a week as well.
Earlier, CM Kejriwal had expressed strong displeasure over the pendency in implementation of the Mukhyamantri Covid-19 Parivar Aarthik Sahayata Yojana in the high-level review meeting over the scheme. Back then he directed the officers to disburse the amount to the families of Covid-19 victims at the earliest.
According to Delhi Government officials, 14,605 applications have been verified online and by visiting homes. Out of these verified applications, a one-time assistance amount of Rs 50 thousand has been transferred to the bank account of 13,005 people. “There are 2,196 families which have voluntarily backed out of the scheme,” an official present during the meeting said.
