I request for your views on the following case:
- 26 year old male Employee joined our company in Sep 07
- On joining, he gave all nominee declarations in favour of his father
- In Mar 08, he got married (arranged marriage)
- After marriage he did not file any fresh nominee declarations
- We have on record his marriage registration certifcate proof
- In July 2008, he died in Road accident on the spot
- Now his settlements / terminal benefits have all been ready for (a) Gratuity, (b) EDLI (c) Personal accident Insurance (d) payroll including leave salary, prorata pay etc, (e) PF & (f) FPF
- On copassionate grounds, his wife has been employed in our group company. So no company compensation is paid
- Widowed wife (now employed with us) came to us our office staking claim for the entire terminal benefits because (a) her parents paid huge dowry + expenses on marriage and now on huge debts.. and more importantly (b) her father=in-law demands that she shall marry her deceased husband's younger brother and to retain all terminal benefits within the family.. but she is not willing for it.
- Since there is no will, Taluk Office have given aa general Legal heir cvertificate citing ther three persons as legal heirs with equal share (i,e, Father-in-law, mother-in-law & widowed wife)
- So her father-in-law & mother=in=law met our company demanding now that 2/3rds share of the terminal benefits and that the widowed wife shall be paid only 1/3rd share only
ce (d) payroll including leave salary, prorata pay etc, (e) PF & (f) FPF payments
We cannot fully pay as per legal heir certificate because the deceased employee;'s wife is making continuous demand for 100% share to her
Pl advide urgently
