Dear Manas
With reference to your query, i would like to state that as such the death of the Insured Person was not occurred out of and in the course of Employment, the family members of the deceased will not be eligible for monthly dependent benefit. There is a provision of Funeral benefit in case of death of an Insured Person/Insured Woman and now the amount of the FB is Rs. 10000/-. It could be claimed by the nominee of the deceased in the concern branch office of the deceased. The dependent of the deceased is required to fill up Form no 22 for claiming Funeral benefit and it should be attested by the Employer and will be accumulated with the death certificate of the deceased. If you are desirous of getting Form no 22, pls revert back for the same.

Dear Supreme,
No law says about upto 1 hour or after one hour.......only it says that nexus between the accident and his nature of job to be established.....
further I humble request is don't misguide the people............since PDB is given to an Insured Person who met with an accident and lost the earning capacity due to such employment injury.. So it is called as Permanent Disablement benefit......and this benefit is payable to the Insured Persons only NOT to any of their family members or Nominees.....
Another Benefit is DB (Dependent Benefit)..if Insured person dies due to employment injury....which will given to their dependents who comes under the Definition of Section 2(6A) of the ESI Act.......
With regards,

Appreciate the answers given by the members for above mentioned query.
Would like to ask one similar question... What if the employee is covered under ESIC and while going back to home at evening, he meets with an accident and was also under the influence of wine/drink.. What type of benefits he would be entitled to under ESIC in such situation and what about in case of his death...

Vishal,
In case of death the DB will be payable even if under influence of drink. Logic is, the person is not present now to defend allegation. Also, for the mistake of the person who has died why to punish the family?
In this Manas has not given any details of the case. Only information he has given is death of employee and that when death occurred he was not on duty. This is not adeqauate information to give advice on.
