evidence: Is assistance of Rs. 4 lakh being provided for families of deceased persons? The third claim is that ‘families of the deceased persons to be given an assistance of 4 lakh rupees, up from 2.5 lakh rupees’. It is true that the revised norms of assistance from the SDRF increase the assistance per deceased persons to Rs. 4 lakh from the existing Rs. 1.5 lakh per person. It has to be noted that is not for farmers alone, but for any deceased person during a notified natural disaster.
