ABSTRACT
The validity of the ex-gratia amount and the relief packages that are being given to the victims of the pandemic that has already hit the country with the most severe effects is the subject of this research paper. In light of this the, National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) provided relief to the citizens of the country under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 (DMA, 2005). The government had already agreed to recognise the new corona virus 19 as a disaster, therefore Section 12 of the DMA dealt with the ex-gratia sum to be granted to the sufferers of the natural tragedy. This study examines the constitutional legitimacy as well as the legal requirements.
