Hi Friends,
The Workmen's Compensation Act of 1923 and subsequent amendments impose a statutory obligation upon employers to compensate their own employees and those of contractors for labor or otherwise employed by them when incapacitated as a result of an employment accident.
We give below the workings of compensation payable in the event of death or permanent total disablement. There is a fixed chart of factors based on the completed years of age on the last birthday immediately preceding the date on which the compensation fell due. A specimen of factors is given below:
Age Factor
18 226.38
25 216.91
30 207.98
35 197.06
The factor decreases as the age increases.
Now we give below the formula for working out compensation. The maximum wages are taken as Rs. 4000 for the purpose of arriving at compensation payable.
For the calculation, we will consider the age of the workmen as 33, and the corresponding factor applicable then will be 201.66.
Case 1) Death of Employee
Age 33 Factor 201.66
Wages Rs. 4000 x 50% = 2000 x 201.66 = Rs. 403320
Case 2) Permanent Total Disablement
Wages Rs. 4000 x 60% = 2400 x 201.66 = Rs. 483984 (maximum Rs. 452760)
Case 3) Temporary Total Disablement
The first 3 days are excluded. Suppose the number of days was 28. Then the calculation will be 28-3 = 25 days:
25 X 25% of wages
15
i.e., 1.66 x 1000 = Rs. 1660
Keep Smiling...

Hi Ashvin,
I was going through the post, and I must admit it is very informative. I have a question though. Can you let me know what would be the compensation for a person of Age 22 with partial disability (Two phalanges have been cut in the Left Index and Middle Finger each), and his wages would be minimum wages, say 3000/-.
Thanks,
Ashvin

Dear Mr. Prasad,
I have gone through your compensation calculation, and an apparent irregularity comes to my mind, i.e., compensation so arrived at for Case-1 (Death of employee) cannot be less than that for Case-2 (permanent disablement).
Please check and rectify.
