As per the Act if one is member of ESIC it absolves the mandatory requirement of Employees compensation act and Maternity benefit act. However where ESIC is applicable it is mandatory to become member of ESIC. Both are contributory schemes hence as per my understanding there should not be any bar for benefits in case of fatality, however the finality shall be checked with detailed terms of the WC policy.
