Rewards

As an incentive to persons offering information about drug trafficking, the Government of India has formulated a scheme of rewards. The Narcotics Control Bureau is the designated agency for processing and sanctioning reward proposals pertaining to seizure of narcotics and psychotropic substances effected by enforcement agencies in the country. The reward committee of Narcotics Control Bureau meets periodically for considering the reward proposals.

The state governments and other enforcement agencies have constituted State Reward Committees which sanction and pay rewards upto Rs. 10,000 per officer, per case, in accordance with the instructions laid down in the reward scheme. The state governments claim reimbursement from the Narcotics Control Bureau once in three months.

Substance wise quantum of maximum rewards admissible is as follows:

The reward shall be reduced prorate if the purity is less than stipulated.
