The deceased family will get rs. 2720000 along with the award amount together with the interest amount. If the period extends then the interest will also increase. Usually the interest will be awarded from the date of filing of the petition till the date of realisation

sir, the calculation would follow as;

20,00,000/- X 9% for number of days calculated from the date of filing till the date of deposit is made ( the days for which the petition was dismissed for default will be excluded)..... i will be able to say the accurate calculation if the date of Petition filed and the date of deposit made and the Dismissed for default period is known.
