Monetary rewards are often granted by law enforcement agencies and the government to individuals, including employees of various undertakings, who provide valuable information or assistance leading to the detection and prevention of serious crimes. However, monetary rewards are not restricted solely to non-gazetted Government servants; they can be admissible to gazetted officers as well, although rules regarding amounts and eligibility may differ. Furthermore, civilians are also eligible for such rewards.
