In a relief for parents of paramilitary troopers killed during duty, the Union Home Ministry has made it mandatory for forces to give a portion of the ex-gratia to them apart from the jawan's spouse.The country's largest paramilitary force and the mainstay of anti-Naxal operations, CRPF, has started the practice of disbursing this 'risk fund' amount in such a manner.The step was taken after numerous cases of spouse and parents tussle over the claim on ex-gratia amount were reported in forces like CRPF, BSF, ITBP, CISF, SSB and NSG. According to the new mechanism devised in the Central Reserve Police Force, in case of death in action, of the total 15 lakh rupees ex-gratia, parents will get four lakh rupees while the spouse will get 11 lakh rupees.
