Explanation:
Some few point are :--
- 1. Advance payments: Give three months pension (old age, widows, persons with disabilities) in advance in April. The elderly survive on the goodwill of other earning members of the family. As family earnings dry up, the elderly may suffer.
- 2. Enhanced payments: The Central government’s contribution to social security pensions has been stuck at Rs 200 per person per month. These must immediately be increased to at least Rs. 1,000 per month.
- 4. Clear arrears: For National Rural Employment Guarantee Act workers, the central government must clear all wage arrears from the 2019-20 financial year immediately.
- 5. Cash transfers for NREGA workers: Provide 10 days wages for a job card, in cash or through their bank accounts for the coming three months, without work, due to risk of community transmission. This will amount to approximately Rs 2,000 per month per household for all job card holders(just under 14 crore households). This will cost approximately Rs. 1 lakh crores over three months.
hope it helps you have nice day ✌✌
Answer:
In our country due to long period of lockdown
India announced a Rs 1.7-lakh-crore relief package to take care of poor, workers and those who need immediate help amid a lockdown to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
The Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Scheme, which will cover 80 crore poor people, will include cash transfers and food security, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said at a press meet in New Delhi. Each one will get free 5 kilogram of rice or wheat every month for the next three months, she said, adding a kilogram of preferred pulse per household will also be given every month to these families for the next three months.
Here’s what Sitharaman’s relief package includes:
- Payout given to 8.69 crore farmers under PM-KISAN will be front-loaded.
- Wages under MGNREGA to be hiked to Rs 202 from Rs 182, which would mean an additional Rs 2,000 to every worker.
- Three crore poor senior citizens, widows, disabled to get one-time ex-gratia amount of Rs 1,000 in two instalments.
- 20 crore women Jan Dhan account holders will get an ex-gratia amount of Rs 500 per month for three months.
- Women in 8.3 crore below-poverty-line families covered under Ujjwala scheme will get free cylinders for three months.
- Doubling collateral-free loan amount to Rs 20 lakh for women in self-help groups. Seven crore households to benefit through 63 lakh self-help groups.
- Government will pay provident fund contribution for both employer and employee for three months. This would cover those establishments which have up to 100 employees and 90 percent employees earn less than Rs 15,000 per month, benefiting 80 lakh workers.
- Provident fund scheme regulations to be amended to allow non-refundable advance of 75 percent of amount in account or three months of wages, whichever is lower. To benefit 4.8 crore workers.
- To direct state government to utilise Rs 31,000 crore under the Building and Other Construction Workers Fund to support 3.5 crore construction sector workers.
- The government will provide medical insurance cover of Rs 50 lakh per person to those at front-lines of fighting the virus. This would cover doctors, nurses, paramedical staff, sanitation and ancillary workers.
- The Finance Minister also said the government will request states to use money in district mineral welfare fund for medical testing and screening to help combat spreading infection.
- The world over, including in India, cash transfers are being advocated as the first line of action. At first glance, they seem like the easiest and quickest option at first glance, but there are some caveats attached to it:
- suggestions---
1. Deciding the “base” is not trivial: who gets the cash, and how much? Should it be all workers in the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act scheme? Should they all get the same (irrespective of how much they worked in the past)?
- We can contribute in this by donating funds to the government .
hope this will help you.
