Hi guys,
In my office, one employee was hospitalized due to a road accident while he was on his way home. I would like to know the ESIC process for accidents. I have provided him with Form No. 12, and now he has called me asking for the MER card. Additionally, what steps should be taken for his leave compensation?
Guys, please help me. I am new to this field, so kindly reply at your earliest convenience.

@Amrita-Sawairam, I don't know what an MER card is, but here's what you need to do in the case of accidents while on duty and during the course of employment, including road accidents while commuting to the office or back to residence. If the notional extension theory is applied with respect to the time and place of the accident, you have to submit Form 12 (which you have already submitted) and also submit an FIR and a sketch of the place where the accident occurred. This is just an ordinary sketch showing the roads from the plant/office, leading to the residence, and the landmark where the accident happened. You should also submit a statement by a witness as to what happened. Normally, in the case of injury within the plant, someone in the company will provide that statement, but since it is a road accident, there may not be any eyewitness from the company, but there can be someone who has seen it. This is apart from what is mentioned in the scene mahazar and FIR.
But the basic thing is done, i.e., submitting Form 12 online. Now, you can gather the above-mentioned documents and submit them offline. If the injured is admitted to a private hospital, ask any of the family members to go to the dispensary and inform them about the accident, preferably collecting the dispensary copy from you. The printout of Form 12 is usually sent to the Local Office and the Medical Officer as well.
