Workmen’s Compensation Act is now Employees Compensation Act, 1923 and the definition of employee includes clerical employees & casual employees also. Further,
- the minimum compensation limits on no-fault basis are increased to Rs.1,20,000 & 1,40,000 (erstwhile limits being Rs. 80,000 & 90,000).
- under the maximum compensation limit, the monthly wage limit of Rs.4,000/ is removed. hence, the maximum compensation can go UPTO 50% of Total Monthly Wages now, irrespective of limits [now a new ceiling of Rs.8000/- is introduced].
- Funeral expenses limit extended to Rs.5000 (from Rs.2,500)
- The employee shall be reimbursed the actual (full) medical expenditure incurred by him for treatment of injuries caused during the course of employment.
- Time limit for disposal of cases relating to compensation introduced- The Commissioner shall dispose of the matter relating to compensation within 3 months of reference.

after half an hour our regular employee met heart attack outside the plant,will he eligible to employee compensation act.
Hello. I could go through the Gazette Notification of the Government of India dt.31.05.2010 in which a specific amount of Rs.8000/- has been fixed for calculation of compensation in respect of an employee u/s 4(1) of the Employee's Compensation Act. There is neither any word such as "maximum" nor "minimum" mentioned in the said Notification. In this situation how can it be said that the earlier maximum limit of the monthly wages has been enhanced from Rs.4000/- to Rs.8000/-? Am I weak in interpreating correctly the languages used in the Gazette Notification? Please clarify and post a line in my mail ID - bishnucharan.pati@gmail.com
I almost never leave a response, however i did a few searching and wound up here
"Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 becomes Employees with enhanced compensation limits, full medical expenses reimbursement, case disposal within 3 months, etc..& also applicable to casual & clericals".
And I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it seem like a few of these responses look like they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on other online sites, I would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your shared sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
