Dear Apanwaz,
I wish to appreciate your efforts in giving a helping hand to your colleague's family, the needy. May the soul rest in peace. In addition to what Mr.Kalsi has stated pl. guide the concerned to accomplish on the following-
1. I'm not sure where you people are working. If your estt. has any provision to grant ex-gratia amount to the deceased family, try to get them. Some states also have such schemes to grant death relief.
2. If the scooter's insurance is valid lodge a claim on the Insurance co.
3. If police has been informed, please ensure a certified copy of FIR is obtained and attached to all your claims-most probably Police Dept. would have regd. a "Hit and Run" case since the second party, the culprit is yet to be identified. It's the duty of the Police to track down the culprit. If he/she is identified and a vehicle is involved pl.arrange to lodge a claim on the insurance co.of the other vehicle involved in the scene.
4. It may be necessary to first check for availability of "nomination" under EPF/Gratuity filed in your office, this will help to hasten the claim settlement. If there is no nomination filed 'Succession Certificate" may be insisted. The widow may be entitled for a pension pl.check that.
5. If your office disburses the salary thru' employees' bank a/cs, the wife of the widow should pursue to claim the balances in his bank a/cs. Most probably bankers may ask her to submit "succession certificate" from a competent court. This would involve "stamp duty" %age based on the amount of claim. There is a shortcut, by producing NOCs from the surviving family members (possible claimants) like children, parents (in-laws), brothers/sisters etc. Nowadays every Bank account is also backed by insurance policy, ascertain details if any from the bank.
6. If your office have a scheme to grant "appointment on compassionate grounds" to the widow, dependent children of the deceased, pl.pursue such a scheme to help the family.
7.Check for any Life insurance policies your colleague would have taken and contributing.
8.Try to obtain a copy of his "Postmortem report" and examine whether there exists any clue/suggestion which may throw some light of his tragic death.
Pl.keep updated and follow up this consistently till everything gets over. You have to run pillar to post to get all these done. Your efforts will not go without a blessing.
