About the Fund
The Fund has been set up since 1966 under the Statutory Bodies Family Protection Fund Act for the purpose of providing assistance mainly to families of deceased employees of Municipal/District Councils, Sugar Industry Labour Welfare Fund, Town & Country Planning Board and Statutory Bodies Family Protection Fund.
The main regulations concerning the Statutory Bodies Family Protection Scheme have been identified and explained so that associates of the Fund may be in a position to better understand the reasons as to why they are contributing to the Scheme and the benefits that their families will derive in the event they pass away.
It is hoped that the text will be easily understood by the associates and that their Union representatives may find therein sufficient materials to even make it clearer to them.
