Bereavement support scheme
Community financial support for the nominee or family following an ABJST member’s untimely passing. Support is considered against membership, contribution records and scheme eligibility.
When to apply
Before applying, the nominee or family should check the bereavement rules and the member’s contribution record. Contact the trust for questions about submitting an application.
Waiting period and membership
The latest published waiting period from September 1, 2026 is one year (365 days). The rules calculate this from the first contribution date. Existing members should confirm their applicable terms and continuity of contributions with the trust.
Documents to prepare
The application asks for the deceased member’s details, front and back images of the member’s Aadhaar card, date of death and death certificate. Submit these through the application form.
What happens after applying?
An administrator reviews member identity, payment/contribution history and documents. Read the full rules for eligibility and nominee conditions; no fixed assistance amount is promised here.
