This Act establishes the Jammu and Kashmir State Emergency Relief Fund to offer immediate financial assistance to citizens following natural or man-made disasters. The fund, funded by annual government revenue and investment income, is specifically designated to alleviate distress caused by events like floods, fires, or earthquakes. While the money is primarily for disaster relief, the government may use any excess funds to build protective infrastructure or manage outstanding loans. By creating a dedicated repository, the legislation ensures monetary resources are available promptly to address critical needs during emergencies.
