Dear Nilesh, Your effort really needs appreciation. I was going through the ESIC Act and found the following things that need to be updated.
Dependants' Benefit (DB)
The dependants' benefit is payable to the dependants as per Section 52 of the Act, read with the provision of 6(A) of Section 2, in cases where an IP dies as a result of EI. The age of dependants has to be determined either by the production of documentary evidence as specified in Regulation 80(2) or by age certified by the Medical Officer in charge of a Government Hospital or Dispensary. The minimum rate of DB w.e.f 1.1.90 is Rs.14/- per day, and these rates of the DB are increased from time to time. The latest enhancement is with effect from 01.08.2002.
Funeral Expenses
An amount of Rs. 5000/- is payable to the dependents or to the person who performs the last rites.
Rajiv Gandhi Shramik Kalyan Yojana
This scheme of Unemployment Allowance was introduced w.e.f. 01-04-2005. An Insured Person who becomes unemployed after being insured for three or more years, due to the closure of a factory/establishment, retrenchment, or permanent invalidity, is entitled to:

Kindly check.
