The Ministry of Rural Development is implementing,
through State Governments and UT Administrations, a scheme namely
National Family Benefit Scheme (NFBS). Under this scheme, earlier a
provision of grant of Rs. 5,000/- was made in case of natural death of
BPL primary bread winner. The primary BPL bread winner specified in the
scheme, whether male or female, had to be a member of the household
whose earning contributed substantially to the total household income.
The death of such primary bread winner occurring whilst he/she was in
the age group of 18 to 64 years. In the year 1998, the amount of benefit
has been raised to Rs. 10,000/- in case of death due to natural causes
as well as accidental causes.
The funds are released to State Governments and UTs by Ministry of Finance as Additional Central Assistance. The National Family Benefit Scheme is a sub-scheme of the National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) and details of funds released sub-scheme wise to State/UTs are not maintained. These sub-schemes are only for BPL families.
