Rs. 20000/- will be given as a lump sum assistance to the bereaved household in the event of death of the bread-winner.

For the purpose of the scheme, the term "household" would include spouse, minor children, unmarried daughter and dependent parents. In case of death of an unmarried adult, the term household would include minor brothers/sisters and dependent parents.
