Compensation for Homes and Vehicles Damaged in Border Shelling
When fighting happens between India and Pakistan, homes and cars near the border can get damaged.
If this happens, the government helps by giving money to fix things or replace them.
To get help, you need to be an Indian citizen and own the damaged property.
The amount of money you get depends on how bad the damage is, which is checked by local officials.
If your house is hurt, you might get money for repairs, or if you need to move out, you could get help paying rent.
If your car is wrecked, you might get money based on how much it was worth.
Cross-border shelling and drone attacks between India and Pakistan cause damage to homes and vehicles.
Indian citizens in conflict zones are eligible for compensation for property damage.
Compensation is a joint effort by central and state governments under disaster relief.
