The next of kin of people who died due to Covid-19 in Odisha can apply to the government for ex-gratia of Rs 50,000 from tomorrow, an official said today.<\/p>\n
They can apply to the District Collectors to get the ex-gratia, said Director Health Services, Bijay Mohapatra.<\/p>\n
They can apply both offline (physically or by post) and online (https:\/\/caps.odisha.gov.in) using a prescribed application form and submit proof of Covid-19 death, documents to establish relationship with the deceased and bank account details.<\/p>\n
“If anyone has any dispute with the cause mentioned in the death certificate, he\/she can approach the district grievance redressal committee, which will examine the medical records of the deceased patient and take a call within 30 days,” he said.<\/p>\n
The state government is following the instructions of the Supreme Court and steps are being taken in accordance with the order, Mohapatra added.<\/p>\n
Special Relief Commissioner PK Jena has also written to all collectors, municipal commissioners and CDMOs in this regard.<\/p>\n
The state IT department has developed software CAPS (Covid-19 ex-gratia Assistance Payment System). The collector will approve, sanction and disburse the ex-gratia and the payment of such assistance will be made directly to the beneficiary through DBT within 30 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
