The State Government’s decision to enhance the one-time grant to gallantry awardees from Karnataka has been welcomed by the city-based Ve-Kare Ex-Servicemen Trust.
The trust had sought an enhancement and made repeated representations in the past on the grounds that the State Government’s one-time cash component did not match similar grants announced in other States.
As per the Government notification, the one-time cash component for Param Vir Chakra (PVC) has been hiked from ₹25 lakh to ₹1.5 crore and for Maha Vir Chakra (MVC) it has been enhanced from ₹12 lakh to ₹1 crore.
