NIRC of ICAI has represented The President ICAI for Considering of the creation of a special Covid -19 Assistance corpus need  for CA members legal heir

We appreciate the current benefit approved by ICAI for its members suffering from Covid19. However, one would agree that there are number of untimely and unexpected deaths of our members are happening because of Covid19.
The above scenario requires onetime support in addition to the other support extended by the ICAI.
1. Thus we propose as under; to request The President of ICAI for Creation of a Special Covid- 19 Assistance Corpus for members of the Institute, by granting one-time financial assistance* to their legal heir of deceased Member(s) who have lost their life, between 1st April, 2020 to 31st March, 2022, due to Covid-19. As per the guidelines to be issued by ICAI, the Financial Assistance will be as under: 
Category of Members                                  Eligible Amount (in Rupees) 
Members less than 60 yrs.                    Rs.10,00,000/- (Rupees Ten Lakhs only).
Members who are 60 years and above Rs.2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lakhs only),

We would also like to bring to your kind attention that ICSI has also extended the support to its members on the similar lines.

2. Consider requesting The President ICAI to Create a Covid Task Force at a Central level for facilitating the Vaccine Drive to all CA members above  18 years of age  and their immediate family by having a  MOU with the health ministry for the same. Similar facilities have been provided by Bar Council to their members has already started the same facility. *This is very urgent and needs to be finalized on war footing.
