Government of India provides ex-gratia payment of Rs. 1 lakh to the family of civilians killed in LWE violence under Security Related Expenditure (SRE) Scheme. The Government of India is also administering a Scheme titled “Central Scheme for Assistance to Civilian Victims of Terrorist/Communal/Naxal Violence” under which a financial assistance of Rs. 3 lakh is given for each death or permanent incapacitation (disability of 50% or above) to the family of civilian victims subject to the condition that no employment has been provided to any of the family members of the victim. Besides this, the State Governments have their own policies for payment of additional ex-gratia and other assistance to the families of civilians.
