• The government abolished the Rs 26,800 monthly income ceiling, making all registered Kashmiri migrant families eligible for the allowance regardless of current income.
• Monthly relief is set at Rs 3,250 per eligible member for up to four members per family, amounting to a maximum of Rs 13,000.
• Pending arrears will be cleared through September 2025, with the Revenue Department instructed to implement the changes immediately.
• A one-time Special Opportunity Scheme allows families to correct or update records without penalties or recovery of past payments.
• Officials estimate about 1,800 migrants in Delhi will be covered, and the updated rules align the capital’s relief framework with provisions in Jammu and Kashmir.
