CJ Gangapurwala launched the “Chief Justice Relief Fund Scheme for district judiciary employees,” at the foundation stone laying ceremony organized by the Madras High Court for the construction of a new, five-storey building next to the existing court campus to accommodate additional court rooms, judges’ chambers, record rooms etc.
The welfare scheme is a subscription based scheme open for all regular employees of the district judiciary across Tamil Nadu and is likely to benefit around 21,000 employees after their retirement.
The employees will have to pay a monthly subscription fee of ₹100 per month for the first three years and ₹200 from August 2027 onwards.
Such subscription will entitle them to receive monetary benefits ranging between ₹50,000 and ₹2 lakh.
In case of any accidents or “untimely death” of such employees, their kin will also receive monetary compensation as per the scheme.
