The Supreme Court has ruled that a rape survivor will get a
mandatory minimum compensation of Rs 4 lakh and, in case of gang rape Rs 5
lakh, and directed states to implement this from October 2 in accordance with a
scheme framed by the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) in consultation
with Centre. The monetary relief granted under the ‘compensation scheme for
women victims/survivors of sexual assault and other crimes 2018’ is not linked
with trial proceedings in such cases and the survivor can approach the state or
district legal services authority for compensation immediately after
registration of FIR.
