Emergency Monetary Relief is a model that proposes to give away a certain amount of money as compensation for the monetary losses that the applicant or any child suffers during the time when the protection order is issued as a result of domestic violence. The aim of this scheme is to provide the victim with a basic amount for them to move forward to a better life for themselves.
The said amount of money is supposed to be credited directly to the account of the beneficiary. This allows them to choose the way they spend the amount instead of the government choosing various schemes for them.

- DOES NOT LET THE DEFENDANT RESPOND
The granting of Emergency Monetary Relief is in compliance with the granting of interim protection order without any notice to respond to. In legal words, an interim protection order is something that ‘shall have no force or effect until it has been served’.
- EASY MONEY MIGHT MAKE PEOPLE LAZY
Our capitalist society is founded and runs on the ideology that money is something that needs to be earned by hard work. UBI totally shakes up that foundation and gives easy money to people. It is suggested by many that the basic requirement to receive UBI should be community service.
- NO GUARANTEE ON PRODUCTIVITY
The direct distribution of money to the complainant will prevent any say of the government as to what the beneficiary does with the said money. If the money is not spent productively as to take care of one’s health and basic needs and instead spent on evil purposes, it beats the purpose of Emergency Monetary Relief.
- LESS FLEXIBLE LABOUR MARKET
A huge part of the lesser privileged rely on temporary part time jobs to supplement their income. With Emergency Monetary Relief in the picture, part time jobs will cease to be a requirement for these people which will reduce the flow of temporary part time workers.
- HINDER ECONOMIC GROWTH
Economic growth depends of three aspects- increase of capitals, technological advancement and the growth of labour force. Emergency Monetary Relief would directly bring down economic growth as the labour force with naturally decrease as more and more such complainants would opt out of working part-time jobs, which they otherwise would have done to support themselves.
- BUDGET CONSTRAINT
Even though experts say that the implementation of UBI will eliminate the necessity of other schemes and social security institutions that are out there to support these victims of domestic violence financially, for the government it will still be an enormous amount to budget for.
The purpose of Emergency Monetary Relief to eradicate the perpetuation of domestic violence and provide the victims with basic monetary support which is a great idea in itself. Nevertheless, there are a lot of loopholes in the scheme that should be taken care of so that it benefits the targeted people.
