Thiruvananthapuram: The income department has come with an online portal to process and disburse financial assistance for their relatives who lost their lives because of Covid-19.
The application for financial assistance must be submitted at www.relief.kerala.gov.in.
Along with the application, the applicant must submit a certificate of death (issued by the ICMR declaration document and death), a copy of the Ration, Aadhar card, and BUBBOK Bank applicant, and certificate of inheritance if available.
The application must be submitted by close relatives of people who have died because of Covid-19.
Each village official will examine the applications and documents submitted together with him and forward it to the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), which will then examine and give final permission to the application.
Relatives from the deceased will be given by Rs 50,000, and BPL families who respond to dead people will be given Rs 5,000 per month for 36 months, to their bank account, before the fifth day every month.
Village officers must ensure that the BPL recipient does not include government officials or income taxpayers.
When the family income is calculated, the deceased’s income will be excluded.
Applications received in physical format in the village office will be verified and submitted through portals to DDMA by village officials.
In cases where there is a need for a re-examination, DDMA will submit an application to the provincial terms through the portal for further investigation.
After the application is accepted, they will be processed and the money will be transferred to the recipient’s bank account within 30 days.
