What reward amount is provided under the Rah-Veer Good Samaritan Scheme to citizens who help road accident victims?

Explanation

The Rah-Veer Good Samaritan Scheme rewards citizens who give immediate help to victims of fatal motor-vehicle accidents and rush them to a hospital or trauma care centre within the Golden Hour. The beneficiary is the Good Samaritan who has saved the life of such an accident victim, and the listed benefit is a Rs. 25000 cash prize. The scheme is notified under Section 134A of the Motor Vehicles Amendment Act, 2019, provides a certificate along with the reward, allows the benefit up to five times a year, and gives legal protection to people who help accident victims. Therefore, among the four amounts, ₹25,000 is the reward amount attached to the scheme.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) ₹10,000 understates the benefit; the scheme lists the cash prize for the Good Samaritan as Rs. 25000.
• (B) ₹15,000 is not the notified reward; the eligible Good Samaritan receives Rs. 25000.
• (C) ₹20,000 is close but still below the listed scheme benefit; the cash prize is Rs. 25000.

Concept

This tests welfare-and-governance schemes linked to road safety and citizen participation. RAS often asks such questions because state and central schemes are examined through their target beneficiaries, legal basis, and exact benefits.
