## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

## (SHRI KIRTI VARDHAN SINGH)

(a to e) ICWF, set up in 2009, is aimed at assisting Overseas Indians in times of distress in the most deserving case, on a means-tested basis. Since its inception, more than INR 758 crores have been utilized up to December 2025 for extending assistance to over 3.67 lakh distressed overseas Indians. The ICWF guidelines have been comprehensively revised w.e.f.   September   1,   2017.   The   revised   guidelines   have   considerably expanded   the   scope   of   on-site   welfare   activities   for   the   benefit   of distressed Indian nationals that could be extended through the Fund. The guidelines   cover   three   key   areas   namely:   Assisting   Overseas   Indian nationals in distress situations (Boarding and Lodging, Air passage, Legal Assistance, Emergency Medical Care, Transportation of Mortal Remains), Community welfare activities and improvement in consular services. They

now also include provisions for setting of legal panels in countries with sizable   Indian   Diaspora   and   assistance   to   distressed   Indian   women abroad.

ICWF is primarily funded by levying service charges on various consular services rendered by Indian Missions and Posts abroad. Hence, ICWF is a self-sustaining fund with no budgetary support from the Government. The fund is administered as per the guidelines approved by the Union Cabinet.

District-wise details of  ICWF utilization are not available. However, the details of fund utilized from ICWF during the last five years are enclosed at Annexure-A. The number of cases in which assistance has been provided under ICWF during the last five years is enclosed at Annexure-B.

The Government accords the highest priority to the safety, protection and well-being of all Indian nationals abroad, with various mechanisms in place to address such issues. It has established such mechanisms to enable Indian nationals abroad to reach out to the Indian Missions in case they need any assistance. Indian nationals  can   contact   the   Missions/Posts through various channels like walk-in, email, social media, multilingual 24x7   emergency   numbers   and   also   grievance   redressal   portals   like

MADAD, CPGRAMS, eMigrate etc. In addition, Indian Missions/Posts abroad have established toll-free helplines, Whatsapp numbers and have launched mobile   apps   to   enable   Indian   nationals   contact   concerned   Indian Missions/Posts when in distress or in emergency situations.

Indian Missions and Posts abroad have Consular/Community Welfare Wings with designated Officers to attend to the welfare issues of  distressed Indian nationals. The Ministry has a well established mechanism/SoPs to coordinate   with   all   Missions/Posts   abroad   to   provide   help   to   Indian nationals   abroad   in   distress   including   in   cases   of   deaths,   local cremation/burial or transportation of mortal remains to their hometowns in India.   The   Consular/Community   Welfare   Officers   can   be   contacted   by Indian   nationals   at   any   time   for   advice   and   assistance.   In   case   of emergency, Missions/Posts can be contacted on 24x7 helpline. Contact details of these officers and helpline numbers are displayed both on the website of the Indian Missions/Posts as well as on the Notice Boards in the Embassy premises.
