Ex-gratia for kin of NoRKs who died abroad
The State Government on Wednesday informed the Kerala High Court that it had sought a clarification from the Centre whether the legal heirs of non-resident Keralites (NoRKs) who died abroad due to COVID-19 are eligible for ex-gratia relief of ₹50,000.
The submission was made by State Government counsel when a writ petition filed by the Pravasi Legal Cell, seeking a directive to the State Government to provide the ex-gratia relief to the families of non-resident Keralites who died of COVID came up for hearing.
The counsel further submitted that the Government had written to the Centre seeking clarification in this regard and a response was awaited.
