Scheme to provide financial aid for accidental death, disability or injury caused by stray/wild animals and dog bites
Chandigarh, 11 September 2025
The Haryana Government has implemented the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Parivar Suraksha Yojana (DAYALU-II) to provide financial assistance to residents of the state in cases of accidental death, disability, or injury caused by dog bites or attacks by stray or abandoned animals such as cows, bulls, oxen, donkeys, dogs, nilgai, buffaloes, etc. The scheme will cover all families registered under the Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP) with an annual family income of less than ₹1.8 lakh, as verified in the Family Information Data Repository (FIDR).
Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi, who also holds the charge of Additional Chief Secretary, Finance & Planning Department, issued the notification in this regard. The scheme comes into effect from the date of notification. The earlier notifications, dated May 25, 2023, and November 9, 2023, will automatically stand cancelled after 90 days of this notification.
Under DAYALU-II, financial assistance will be provided according to the age of the victim in cases of accidental death or permanent disability (70% or above). Children up to 12 years of age will receive ₹1 lakh, those between 12–18 years ₹2 lakh, 18–25 years ₹3 lakh, 25–45 years ₹5 lakh, and those above 45 years ₹3 lakh. For disabilities below 70%, compensation will be calculated according to the percentage of disability as per the provisions of the Employees’ Compensation Act, 1923, with a minimum of ₹10,000. For minor injuries, a fixed amount of ₹10,000 will be given. In dog bite cases, ₹10,000 will be provided for each teeth mark, and where flesh has been torn from the skin, ₹20,000 for every 0.2 cm of the wound.
To ensure proper implementation, a District Level Committee has been constituted under the chairmanship of the Deputy Commissioner. Members include the Superintendent of Police, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, District Transport Officer, a representative of the Chief Medical Officer, and the Planning/District Statistical Officer. Depending on the nature of the case, officials from Panchayats, Forest, Municipal bodies, PWD, NHAI, or other concerned departments may also be included. The committee will verify claims, determine compensation within 120 days, and, in cases involving pet animals, give the owner an opportunity to be heard.
The claims must be filed online within 90 days of the incident at https ://dapsy.finhry.gov.in Required documents include a death certificate, FIR/DDR, hospital records, disability certificate, photographs of wounds, and other necessary evidence.
The compensation will be transferred directly into the Aadhaar-linked bank account registered in the PPP database. In case of death, the amount will be given to the Head of the Family. If the head has passed away, it will go to the eldest family member below 60 years, or, if unavailable, to the nearest member above 60 years. If all surviving family members are below 18 years, the assistance will only be released when a member attains majority.
Haryana Parivar Suraksha Nyas (HPSN) will be the nodal agency for the scheme, and its Chief Executive Officer will be responsible for implementation. Compensation approved by the District Level Committee will be disbursed by HPSN within six weeks. The amount will then be recovered from the responsible department, agency, or individual. Any false claims or suppression of facts will lead to recovery of the amount with 12% annual interest.
