Plane Crashes, Road Mishaps, Bridge Collapses: India Needs National Plan To Aid Accident Victims' Kin
Last Updated: The plan should offer financial support proportional to the family's annual income, ideally around 10 times that amount, ranging from Rs 10-50 lakh A recent series of accidents has highlighted the challenges faced by the families of victims and the importance of providing prompt financial support to help them recover. Although the Tata group announced Rs 1.25 crore for each family affected by the Ahmedabad plane crash, other victims receive considerably less, such as Rs 5 lakh for families of the Uttarakhand helicopter crash victims and the Pune bridge disaster victims. The fate of road accident victims' families often depends on whether the accident makes national news, which may result in some relief being announced by state CMs or from the PM relief fund. However, this aid is usually insufficient for long-term support. Families of unreported accidents struggle daily with both emotional loss and financial hardship. There is an urgent need for a national response plan for all accident victims, covering road accidents, air accidents, lightning, floods, landslides, and bridge collapses. This plan should activate automatically upon the reporting of any fatal accident, without the need for political declarations. The plan should offer financial support proportional to the family's annual income, ideally around 10 times that amount, ranging from Rs 10-50 lakh. An immediate payment of Rs 2-3 lakh should cover last rites, with the remainder provided within 2-3 months. The total sum could be paid in instalments to prevent misappropriation. Injured victims should receive funds for treatment. Permanent disability should result in proportional compensation. The recent central government scheme offering Rs 1.5 lakh in cashless treatment is a good start but inadequate for severe injuries. While many accident victims might be covered under insurance, this is not always sufficient. Commercial airline crash compensation follows the Montreal Convention of 1999 but can take years to be processed. Interim compensation, like that announced by Tata Group, helps families survive until the actual compensation is received. Helicopter crash victims, like those in Uttarakhand, often face significant challenges in securing compensation due to financial instability of the operators and potential missed insurance payments. For road accident victims, the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunals often take years to settle, with decisions frequently challenged in higher courts, leaving families in prolonged distress. Hit-and-run victims have an even tougher situation, with no clear party from which to claim insurance, forcing families to seek help from various government offices. Most road accident victims are working-age individuals, leaving behind dependents who struggle without immediate financial aid. Children often have to abandon their education, and families fall into poverty. When multiple family members are injured or killed, the financial burden is even greater. Children orphaned by accidents may end up with relatives who may not have their best interests at heart, sometimes even losing their rightful property. A World Bank report from 2021 highlights that low-income households in poorer states suffer disproportionately from road crashes, with over 75% reporting income declines and resorting to high-interest loans, trapping them in poverty. Timely compensation can prevent this cycle. Assured, timely financial assistance from the government can help families recover, live with dignity, and ensure children's futures are not compromised. Advertisement To ensure necessary support, the government could release Rs 5 lakh immediately following an accidental death in public spaces or due to a disaster. The remaining amount can be provided within a few months after assessing the family's needs. The funds could be distributed as an annuity to ensure financial stability. The responsible party, whether an insurance firm or a contractor, can be determined later through legal processes. Funding this initiative could involve collaborating with public sector life insurance companies to cover all 140 crore Indians. The premium could be funded through pooling third-party premiums, a nominal cess on fuel sales, and a small income tax surcharge. The rest would come from budgetary allocations. top videos View All The scheme should work alongside existing insurance plans, deducting any amounts already awarded by tribunals like the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunals. In 2023, India recorded 1.72 lakh road accident deaths. Including deaths from other causes like floods, landslides, and fires, the total would be around 2 lakh per year. With an average payout of Rs 20 lakh per death, the total funding required would be Rs 40,000 crore. This amount would reduce the need for separate ex-gratia payments by state or central governments. Additionally, the financial pressure would motivate the government to enforce better laws and regulations to reduce accidents. tags : accident Compensation insurance plane crash Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: June 18, 2025, 23:24 IST News opinion Plane Crashes, Road Mishaps, Bridge Collapses: India Needs National Plan To Aid Accident Victims' Kin

Fintechs should see agri, rural areas as new markets, not just social responsibility: FM Nirmala Sitharaman
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has called on India's fintech companies to view the country's agriculture sector and rural areas as more than just a social responsibility, saying they were an opportunity to 'create new markets'. 'Agriculture and rural areas need more innovations so that farmers will have to be connected to the markets better. Every fintech firm should view rural India as a fertile ground not just as a social responsibility but as an opportunity to create new markets. And you'll know from the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies that in the rural area today demand is reviving and sustaining itself and it is there that we need to have greater participation from our side,' the Finance Minister said on Wednesday at the Digital Payments Awards 2025, hosted by the Ministry of Finance's Department of Financial Services. Sitharaman also said fintechs should participate more when it comes to providing credit to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The Finance Minister said many other countries could only dream about the speed with which Indian companies were innovating in the digital payments space, with even several advanced countries not making progress at the same pace. 'There are several countries which appreciate and equally ask us if there can be an interaction which can be enabled,' Sitharaman said. A host of companies won at the Digital Payments Awards, including Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, and UCO Bank in the public sector bank category and HDFC Bank, City Union Bank, and IDFC FIRST Bank among private banks. In the small finance and payments bank categories, Equitas Small Finance Bank and India Post Payments Bank were named winners. Among fintechs, Whatsapp Meta, Navi, and Mobikwik won joint first place in the third-party app providers category, while PhonePe, Paytm, and Google Pay were awarded the top three places in the offline digital payments acceptance infrastructure category. 'Push the boundaries' While lauding the 'light-touch regulation, heavy encouragement' approach, the Finance Minister said India still needs 'a bulk of its population' to benefit from financial inclusion. To become a developed country by 2047, Sitharaman called on those in attendance to 'push the boundaries'. 'You have set pioneering targets, achieved them. But now we need to take it further and set standards,' she said. Noting that the fintech adoption rate in India was 87 per cent as against 67 per cent globally, the Finance Minister said nearly Rs 44 lakh crore had been transferred through Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT) since 2014, resulting in savings of Rs 3.48 lakh crore. Going forward, the Finance Minister said financial inclusion should be advanced even further, with regional languages playing a bigger role, strengthened by voice-based services. Account aggregators, she added, could unlock new possibilities, with the number of entities on the account aggregator platform rising to nearly 700 as of March 2025 from 24 three years ago. Sitharaman also highlighted the need to improve literacy and cybersecurity, with solutions needed to ensure people don't fall prey to being 'digitally arrested' or that fly-by-night operators don't take away their money. 'We need a set of fintech companies which are constantly working on giving solutions for the newer challenges which are arising.' Speaking earlier at the awards, M Nagaraju, Secretary, Department of Financial Services, lauded the accomplishments of Unified Payments Interface as a mode of digital payment, saying its success had crossed borders as it was live in seven countries, namely Bhutan, France, Mauritius, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and the UAE. Nagaraju echoed Sitharaman's priorities for the future, naming deepening digital payment adoption across sectors and geographies, strengthening cybersecurity and fraud prevention frameworks, promoting digital and financial literacy at the grassroot level, and 'ensuring that digital payments remain inclusive, secure, and citizen-centric'. Make for the world According to Sitharaman, India's fintech companies and their innovations have the potential to become global public goods that can benefit other emerging and developing economies, which would open new markets for Indian firms. 'Our players must aim to export our successful models abroad. We have the talent, we have the market scale, and we have also proven solutions. So fintech revolution in India will further flourish,' she said. Pointing out that India's fintech market is projected to grow to over $400 billion by 2028-29, Sitharaman said the scale of opportunity is immense and that the sector's 'best chapters are yet to be written'.
