Many people have been badly affected by the corona virus epidemic and the lockdown implemented to prevent the spread of its infection. Due to disrupted industrial activities, many employees were given reduced salaries, while many lost their jobs. A government scheme can help such people who have lost their jobs in this difficult time. A scheme has been launched by the Employees State Insurance Corporation, namely, Atal Insured Persons Welfare Scheme (ABVKY).
If the nominee’s job has gone down due to the Corona crisis under the Atal Insured Person Welfare Scheme, he will be given unemployment allowance. Such people will be provided 50 percent of their salary for three months. This help will be available to those whose jobs have been left between March 24 and December 31 this year.
