The All India Federation of Tax Practitioners rolls out a scheme called AIFTP Financial Support to Members (COVID-19) Scheme, 2021 to provide financial support to COVID hit members.
In view of the current pandemic Covid-19, many of the members of the Federation have been hospitalized for treatment. Many of the Members have also lost their lives. Due to the present Covid-19 pandemic situation, such members and/ or their families are facing financial exigencies. With a view to give financial support to such members and/or their families, the Federation has framed a scheme to provide financial support to the needy members and/or their families.
The object of the scheme is to provide financial support to the members who are facing financial exigencies because of the hospitalization due to Covid-19 and to the family of the member who lost his/her life due to the Covid-19.
A Committee shall be constituted who shall provide financial assistance to the needy members and their families. The Committee shall be as under the Chairmanship of Dr. Ashok Saraf, Past President, Guwahati which consists of 6 members.
