Sub: Norms for the grant of relief to the
persons affected by Natural calamities.
Ref: This department memo
No.7/7/95-ERII/6885, dated 23/9/97
The
matter regarding norms for the grant of relief in case of loss on account of No
Crops Sown due to floods/ water logging has been re-examined and it is
clarified that if there is no continuity between unsown crops, relief may be
paid proportionately. Thus “where crops
have not been sown for less than two years, the amount of relief is to be
provided @ Rs 2000 per acre and in this period of less than two years last
three crops are to be covered. If a person has sown two crops he should be paid
1/3rd relief and if a person has sown only one crop he should be
paid 2/3rd relief. Consequently, the relief may be calculated
proportionately in the aforesaid manner for the crops not sown due to flood/
water logging”
