Kansal v. Union of India and others, W.P.(C) No. 554 of 2021 had

issued the following directions:

“16. In view of the above and for the reasons stated above, we dispose of the present writ petitions with the following directions: 1) We direct the National Disaster Management Authority

to recommend guidelines for ex gratia assistance on account of loss of life to the family members of the persons who died due to Covid-19, as mandated under Section 12(iii) of DMA 2005 for the minimum standards of relief to be provided to the persons affected by disaster – Covid 19 Pandemic, over and above the guidelines already recommended for the minimum standards of relief to be provided to persons affected by Covid-19. However, what reasonable amount to be offered towards ex gratia assistance is left to the wisdom of National Authority which may consider determining the amount taking into consideration the observations made hereinabove, such as, requirement/availability of the fund under the NDRF/SDRF for other reliefs and the priorities determined by the National Authority/Union Government and the fund required for other minimum standards of relief and fund required for prevention, preparedness, mitigation and recovery and other reliefs to carry out the obligation under DMA 2005. The aforesaid exercise and appropriate guidelines be recommended, as directed hereinabove, within a period of six weeks from today;

2) The Appropriate Authority is directed to issue simplified

guidelines for issuance of Death Certificates/official document stating the exact cause of death, i.e., “Death due to Covid-19”, to the family members of the deceased who died due to Covid-19. While issuing such guidelines, the observations made hereinabove in paragraph 13 be borne in mind. Such guidelines may also provide the

3  

remedy to the family members of the deceased who died due to Covid-19 for correction of the death certificate/official document issued by the appropriate authority, if they are not satisfied with the cause of death mentioned in the death certificate/official document issued by the appropriate authority; and

3) The Union of India to take appropriate steps on the recommendations made by the Finance Commission in its XVth Finance Commission Report bearing in mind paragraph 8.131 in consultation with other stakeholders and experts.”

3. It is respectfully submitted that vide its Compliance Affidavit

dated 08.09.2021, the Union of India has duly complied with the

2nd direction i.e. with regard to issuance of an official

document/death certificate.

4. Furthermore, with regard to the 3rd direction, the National

Disaster Management Authority (“NDMA”) has already started

discussions/consultations on the recommendation of the XVth

Finance Commission regarding insurance interventions. Further

studies are to be undertaken for laying groundwork for these

suggested insurance interventions. It is important that these

insurance mechanisms are thoroughly studied, analysed and

introduced with due diligence in partnership with insurance

companies and hence it is a time taking process.

5. It is respectfully submitted that, vide its 1st direction, the

Hon’ble Supreme court had directed the NDMA to recommend

guidelines for ex-gratia assistance on account of loss of life, to the

4  

family members of the persons who died due to COVID-19, as

mandated under Section 12(iii) of the Disaster Management Act,

2005 (“DM Act”) for the minimum standards of relief to be

provided to the persons affected by disaster. In this regard, it is

humbly submitted that, in respectful compliance of the directions

of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the NDMA has prepared guidelines

for ex-gratia assistance to next of kin of the deceased due to

COVID-19, under Section 12(iii) of the DM Act.

of kin of the deceased due to COVID-19, under Section 12(iii) of

the Disaster Management Act, 2005 is annexed herewith and
