Health Dept. verification no longer mandatory, faster approval process: officials
The Delhi government has tweaked the process to get compensation if a person’s family member has died due to COVID-19. The decision will “speed up” the process, said officials. Earlier, even after submitting the mandatory documents, one of these two conditions had to be fulfilled — the death must be certified as COVID-19 death as per a list by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA); else, the death must have happened within one month of testing COVID-19 positive. Plus, it had to be verified as COVID-19 death by the government Health Department, as per a notification of the scheme. Applications pendingMore Related News
