As per the Workmen's Compensation Act, it is required to deposit compensation in case of death within 30 days in the Labour court. However, due to circumstances, there has been a delay in depositing the compensation (a delay of 6 days). What are the legal implications for such a delay?

You have to pay simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum or at higher rates as per the lending rates of scheduled banks. I hope the matter is with the Workmen's Compensation Commissioner and not with the Labour Court.
