Some have told the BBC the amounts being offered to relatives differ wildly, and they say the settlement includes a clause to give up their legal rights forever. Archana Shukla reports from Ahmedabad. May I have your attention please? As we settle in, we request you to please... That announcement is from Air India 171, that crashed seconds after take-off in what was one of the world's deadliest air disasters.

Mariam had shot the video on her phone and sent minutes before take-off. Now it's the last memory that her son Abbas holds on to. I met him in Vadodara town, in their one-room home, where life has stood still since the crash.

A year on, the grief here is still very raw. It is made even harder by the final compensation offer they got from Air India.

Abba näytti minulle kirjan huomioon. Hän ei ole vielä kirjoittanut.

100 kilometriä Mariamin kotona on, missä hänen poliisi rikkoi. Ahmedabadissa.

Silloin, kun seuraa, mitä on tapahtunut, BBC on nähnyt näitä asennusdokumentteja, jotka pyytävät perheitä, jotka ovat Ruotsissa, tekemään kaikkea legaalia toimintaa. Ei ainoastaan tuotantoon, vaan tekojen, tuotantoon ja jopa hallituksen kanssa, jotka ovat mahdollisesti tutkittuja. Mutta perheitä, jotka ovat Ruotsissa, ovat erilaisia. 25-vuotiaiden perheistä, jotka ovat Ruotsissa, sanotaan, että perheitä on paljon suurempi, eikä heitä pyytä tekemään legaalia toimintaa Ruotsin ulkopuolella.

Olemme keskittyneet moniin muihin perheisiin, jotka ovat saaneet nämä tarpeet. Kaikki eivät halunneet nimiä, mutta kaikki olivat samaa mieltä.

Jotkut, kuten Ajay Parmar, huolehtivat kirjoittamista. Hän oli skuuteroissa päässä, metrin päästä, josta voimakkaus rikkii. Hän oli saapunut syvyyksiä, jotka edelleen huolehtivat. Ajattelin, että he antoivat rahaa minulle skuuteroihin, jotka olivat rikkiä. En tiedä, miten lukea, ja ei ollut kukaan kotona. Haluan kirjoittaa rahaa ja saada rikkiä takaisin.

It's a blazing summer afternoon and Ajay is playing with his two-year-old niece in this one-room house that doubles up as a bedroom at night. He's not able to find work because after the burns from the crash, his skin itches every time he goes out in the sun. And that's why the compensation meant a lot to him. He says he had no idea and it was not explained to him what the signature meant.

In a statement, Air India told the BBC, the offers are fair and in accordance with the law. Where requested, translations were provided and content explained to families. Full waivers are sought, including for other parties, to prevent direct or indirect claims in the future. It's extremely unconscionable, very, very unfair.

For families like his the hardest choice still lies ahead. To settle or keep fighting for accountability.

Well, the details are still a bit sketchy, but what's clear for now is that U.S.

will lower tariffs on Indian goods from 50 percent to 18 percent.

And that is a big deal because U.S.

is India's largest trading partner.

More than a third of what India exports goes there.

So for export driven sectors like textiles, gems and jewelry, seafood and auto components,

It is a major relief.

Many of the exporters that we've been speaking to over the last several months, they said nearly 30 to 50 percent of their business had collapsed.

So for them, it's a major relief.
