Raja Harishchandra Shramik Mratak Antyeshti Sahayata Yojana - Introduction

This scheme is run by the Labour Department of Uttar Pradesh through the UP Labour Welfare Council. It is meant for workers employed in establishments registered under the Factories Act, 1948. When a registered worker passes away while still in service, the family often struggles to arrange money for the final rites. This grant helps them manage the funeral costs without taking loans or selling assets.

For example, if a registered factory worker named Ramesh passes away, his family can apply for this grant to meet the immediate funeral expenses. The benefit is paid to the spouse, a dependent son, an unmarried daughter, or the parents if the worker was unmarried.
