Compensation can be claimed for employment injury while on duty. Will you be able to establish that his heart attack was caused due to job pressure or so? Only then you may get compensation. But this will be a long road.

Only if the employment of the deceased satisfies sec,2(1)(dd) read with Schedule-II of the EC Act,1923, you can claim compensation under the Act.

Pl check Compensation under different provision :
1. Cover under Group insurance , leave and gratuity linked with insurance by company.
2. Under EPF - EDLI , PF and pension amount.
3. If carrying ATM card and maintaining balance as well as covered under Pradhan Mantri Yojna- compensation from Bank's branch.

As per the latest caselaw, heart attack is held to be employment injury, therefore you can claim Employees Compensation if your brother was employed in any industry covered in Schedule II of Employees Compensation Act or if he was covered by ESI then he will get death benefit or also if group accident policy or group medical policy, you need to examine if it can be claimed.
