Hyderabad: The Telangana government has enhanced the compensation to be paid to the families of police personnel, Home Guards and civilians who die or are grievously hurt in extremist or terrorist violence.
“The government has decided to enhance the existing rates of ex gratia relief in respect of police personnel or civilians and consider further enhancement of ex gratia relief to the next of kin of police personnel or civilians who were killed or permanently incapacitated or injured in extremist/terrorist violence duly, including Home Guards,” Telangana Chief Secretary Rajiv Sharma said in a Government Order.
For officers of the rank of SPs and all IPS officers, the ex gratia has been hiked to Rs 1 crore from the existing Rs 30 lakhs in case of death in extremist/terrorist violence.
In case of permanently incapacitation in extremist or terrorist violence, the ex gratia has been increased to Rs 50 lakhs from Rs 10 lakhs and it has been doubled to Rs 6 lakhs from Rs 3 lakhs in case of grievous hurt, the GO said. For Inspectors, DSPs, Additional SPs and equivalent ranks of civil servants in other departments, in case of death, the ex gratia has been increased to Rs 50 lakhs from Rs 30 lakh.
Regarding head constables, sub-inspector of police and equivalent ranks of civil servants of other departments, the ex gratia has been hiked to Rs 45 lakh (excluding police constables) from existing Rs 25 lakh. Families of Home Guards, who until now were ineligible for an ex gratia, have been included in the list of those eligible for ex gratia.
In case of death, the family of Home Guards will be given Rs 30 lakh while civilians will be paid Rs 25 lakh from the existing Rs 10 lakh. According to the GO the orders enhancing the ex-gratia comes into effect from June 2, 2014, when Telangana State was formed.
