Families of police officers who die at work get Rs 12 lakh.

Civilians who lose their lives in terror attacks or shelling near the border get Rs 1 lakh.

The government also gives money to people who become disabled or badly injured while serving.

People whose homes or property get damaged during anti-terror operations can also get help, up to Rs 10 lakh per case.
