<h1>Government launches DAYALU-II aid for accidental death, disability, and injuries from dog or stray animal attacks; income cap Rs1.8 lakh</h1> A state government has notified the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Parivar Suraksha Yojana (DAYALU-II) to provide financial assistance for accidental death, permanent disability or injury caused by bites or attacks from dogs and other stray or abandoned animals. Eligible families are those registered under the state family ID with annual income below Rs 1.8 lakh. Compensation scales vary by age for death/permanent disability (Rs 1 lakh-5 lakh) and by disability percentage or injury severity (minimum Rs 10,000; detailed rates for bites and tissue loss). Claims must be filed online within 90 days; a district committee verifies and decides within 120 days. Payments go to Aadhaar-linked family bank accounts via the designated state trust; recoveries and 12% interest apply for false claims, and amounts disbursed may be recovered from responsible parties.
