Bare Act

The Uttarakhand Martyr’s Dependent Ex-Gratia Grant Act, 2020

This law provides a one-time financial payment to the families of soldiers who died in war, border conflicts, or security operations while serving in the Indian military or paramilitary forces. It specifically targets those who were permanent residents of Uttarakhand and died on or after March 5, 2014. The grant, known as an ex-gratia amount, is distributed among the widow, parents, or dependent children based on their relationship to the deceased. The money is meant to support the families financially and is subject to verification of service records and battle casualty status, ensuring it is not paid if the family has already received compensation from other government schemes.
