Surrender sop for Maoists up 25 times -Vishwa Mohan

Surrender will become more lucrative for Maoists across the country from April 1. The finance ministry has approved the home ministry's proposal to increase its share of financial contribution for each surrendered ultra by 25 times for senior Maoists and 15 times for foot soldiers.

A senior ultra (politburo member or state/zonal/district committee commander) will get Rs 2.5 lakh, while a junior cadre will get Rs 1.5 lakh as one-time payment once they surrender.

The amount will be more if the ultras surrender with arms, depending on the kind of weapons they lay down. Besides, the surrendered ultras will get an additional Rs 3,000 per month — an increase of Rs 1,000 from the existing amount — for 36 months.

"Though the states are free to offer more to the surrendered Maoists, the Centre will reimburse to the tune of Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 1.5 lakh as one-time payment for senior and junior cadre, respectively, under the home ministry's Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme," said a senior home ministry official.

He said the reimbursement would also be meant for monthly stipend for Maoists, irrespective of their seniority, for 36 months (Rs 1.08 lakh for each surrendered ultra), as well as maximum Rs 30,000 for those who turn in their weapons.

An ultra can be offered additional incentive of Rs 30,000 for each deposited light machine gun (LMG), Rs 25,000 for each rocket-propelled grenade/sniper rifle, Rs 15,000 for AK 47/56/74 rifle, Rs 5,000 for each high frequency communication set and Rs 3,000 for each pistol or revolver — no matter whether they come over-ground with 'looted' police weapons or with arms which were procured from elsewhere (via smuggling).

Sharing these details with senior police officials, including DGPs and chief secretaries of naxal-affected states, in a meeting on Monday, home secretary RK Singh is learnt to have asked them to encourage Maoists to join the mainstream by availing the added incentives that will be provided under the new surrender-cum-rehabilitation policy.

"Although all Naxal-affected states have been giving incentives to surrendered Maoists, the finance ministry's approval to increase the Centre's share under SRE scheme for this purpose will help cash-strapped states to go for implementing the surrender policy more vigorously," said an official.

Besides giving its nod to the revised surrender-cum-rehabilitation policy of the home ministry, the finance ministry has also approved the proposal to increase community policing fund from existing Rs 5 lakh per district per annum to Rs 10 lakh per district per annum.

The community policing - involving citizens for day-to-day non-core policing in coordination with local police and initiating confidence building measures within the local community — fund is earmarked for 106 districts, which are covered under the SRE scheme.

Expenditure under the scheme is first incurred by the state government and thereafter reimbursed by the Centre. However, 25% advance of the approved annual work plan outlay is provided to the state governments concerned in the beginning of fiscal for its smooth implementation.
