Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that the relief distribution process for Jammu and Kashmir migrant families has been made simpler and more transparent.
Now, the applicants for the relief will not require to submit income certificate or property documents. Also, rules on marriage, family bifurcation, arrears and verification process have also been clarified in the SOP, Delhi CMO said in a statement.
Further, the Government has given a one-time special amnesty to the migrant families registered till March 2024, to submit Form-A till September 15, to declare current family composition, Gupta said.
Every family must submit Form-A for this purpose, she said and clarified that the declarations submitted in April 2026 under the earlier rules will no longer be valid and will be treated as cancelled.
