Dear Members,

Has the wage limit in the Workmen's Compensation Act been increased? If yes, please provide the notification if anybody has it. What about other employees' compensation if they get into an accident, which act covers them?

Dear Sir,

Please find attached the amendment made to the Workmen's Compensation Act. According to the amendment, it is no longer referred to as the WC Act; it is now known as the Employees' Compensation Act.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Thank you for the information shared. Could you please confirm the maximum limit (I have a doubt - is it Rs. 8 lakh)? I would appreciate it if you could provide me with some clarification on this.

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,

Dear members,

The old act on workmen's compensation has been replaced with a new one in 2017. To avoid misrepresentation, the thread is being closed. Members are requested to refer to the new act. Below is one such link: https://www.citehr.com/581938-employ...ct-2017-a.html
