The State of Goa is reeling under the disastrous impact of #CycloneTauktae. The Disaster Management Authority provides relief to those who have suffered losses due to a calamity. This relief is essentially intended for the underprivileged (though it may be availed for anyone affected) and is in the form of limited monetary compensation.

Are you a victim of a natural calamity? Damage to Home, Crop, Loss of Life or any other Loss?

You may be eligible for gratuitous relief.

Procedure to apply

1. Download & fill form (click to download).
2. Attach copy of below documents
   • House Tax receipt (ownership proof)
   • Aadhaar Card (owner ID proof)
   • Bank A/C Passbook (to transfer relief funds once sanctioned)
   • Photos of the damage caused (these will be checked by Talathi during inspection)
3. Submit application & above documents to Taluka Mamlatdars office as soon as possible (or within 60 days) of the date of loss.
   *Note that a tenant may also apply for relief, by obtaining an NOC from the owner, and providing above application & supporting documents

Thereafter

1. Talathi will conduct Panchanama & submit report to Deputy Collector within 7 days.
   (After the panchanama, you can proceed with repairs, since the damage has been caputured in the report)
2. Deputy Collector will submit the case to the Collector within 2 days.
3. Collector will examine the case and if it comes under natural calamity scheme, he will issue an order recommending gratuitous relief.
