Hi Jothi,
Was He on duty at time of accident ? or Was he out side of the company premised for the Official Work & met to accident ?
IF yes, so, He can get the benefit from ESIC.
For getting the benefit from ESIC, Employer has to submit one letter stated that, all stuff with certificate from State Police of Accident (if registered) & other ESIC forms .

If is covered under ESIC Act and on duty at the time of accident the he is definately entitled to get the benefit of accident under this act. You have to send the form no.16 (intimation of accident) under this act.

Hi,
Please chech the time he met an accident was duty time or else as well as premises too. if it happend on duty than only he claim for ESI benefits. An application letter, ESIC form and police report is required to submit to the ESIc office for this benefit.
But first you should check the eligibility for this ESI scheme.
Thats all from my side.

Dear Mr. Prasad,
Basically, when an employee reach and stary inside the premises of the organisation, than only he is eligible for any benefits in case of an accident.
But in some cases, it is also count that if a person is using the same way / path for in comming and out going to the factory / organisation and if he or she meet an accident out side the premises but in the same path which he or she usualy use to go and come to work. Than in some case, he or she is also eligible to get benefited under ESI scheme. But this is not comes under general practice but this is highly special case that wil be considered by the ESIC Authorities and Court.
This is what from my side. Let others say about this.
