The Union government has increased the reward for assisting road accident victims under the Rahveer Yojana from ₹5,000 to ₹25,000. This initiative aims to encourage citizens to help victims during the critical "golden hour" by offering a direct bank transfer incentive, capped at five times annually. The reward is contingent on the victim being hospitalized within the golden hour, remaining for at least three days or undergoing surgery. The increased reward will be promoted during Road Safety Month starting January 1, 2026, to address hesitation in helping due to legal fears or lack of motivation.
