The Department of Law, Justice and Legislative Affairs stated that All the advocates who are enrolled with Bar Council of Delhi and are also in the voters list of Delhi, are hereby informed that the process of registration under the Chief Minister Advocates Welfare Scheme has been started.

 

The welfare scheme is supposed to provide Group Term Insurance to the Advocates who are practicing the life cover of Rs 10 Lakh and Group Mediclaim coverage for advocates, their spouse and two dependent children up to age of 25 years for a family floater sum insured of Rs 5 Lakh.
