Government has recently notified enhanced compensation to be paid to victims which will be effective from 1 Apr 2022. The procedure has been simplified , made time bound and to be done at a local taluk level by submission of a half a page of application in the given format to the tehsildar or SDM. Fund has been created which will cater to this requirement. The payment authority is the DM.
The application is to be given to local tehsildar or SDM called the enquiry officer who will also obtain the copy of FIR from police and decide the case within 15 days and give to the DM for payment. If claim is rejected then intimation and reason will be communicated.
The amount in hit and run cases will be Rs.50000/= for grievously hurt and Rs. 2 lacs for death. In case the vehicle or owner is traced then the amount will be Rs 2 lacs for grievously injured and Rs.5 lacs for death to be paid by insurance company but with a condition that one can not approach the MACT for enhanced compensation later. Free treatment if given at hospital will be deducted and paid to hospital directly.
