Wage ceiling for calculation under Employee Compensation Act is Rs 8000/ . In other words, an employee drawing a salary of Rs 25000/ per month will get benefit based on Rs 8000/
If the person is not going to return to employment due to stroke and if you want to treat this as employment injury, then the benefit should be 100%. You must calculate the disability as 100% even if the disability is not mentioned in the list. the logic is simple. the person has lost his earning capacity due to stroke and hence you do not want to engage him further. Then the calculation must be on 100% loss of earning capacity.

Sales Representative returning after duty and meeting with an accident under norm al circumstances can be treated as Employment injury. There is no discretion but every accident need to be examined .

Dear Mr Maan Bhatt - If the injury is temporary total - He has to produce a certificate from Medical Practitioner about his long leave. As per provisions of WC or EC, the company can compensate him with salary @ 25% of his last drawn salary for every 15 days, after completion of 15 days of temporary total disability, compensation becomes payable on 16th day and onwards.
This is for your information and necessary action, please. Thanks/Regards,

Dear Mr Maan Bhatt,
As you have claimed that one of your Medical representatives in field is attacked by Brain stoke while traveling during duty hours in the train and has suffered temporary disability.I do not understand as to how you have termed the disease as temporary disability. First of all you need to prove that the brain stoke has any relevance with the duties he was performing because Section 3(4) of the Employee's Compensation Act,1923 clearly states that no compensation shall be payable to an employee in respect of any disease which is not directly attributable to specific injury by the accident arising out of and in course of his employment except occupational diseases explained in Sub-sections (2), (2A) and 3 of the Section 3 of the Act.
As regards your query that the company want to compensate him under workmen compensation Act, 1923 but the issue is that disability arises out of Brain stroke is nowhere mention in the Act is concerned, Section 4 (1) (c) (ii) clearly provides that in the case of an injury specified in Schedule I such percentage of the compensation payable in the case of permanent total disablement as is proportionate to the loss of earning capacity (As ASSESSED by the QUALIFIED MEDICAL PRACTITIONER) permanently caused by the injury. Thus the qualified medical practitioner will decide the quantum of loss of earning capacity and whether the disease will cause temporary or permanent disablement to the beneficiary.
As regards your query that what will be the wages ceiling for calculation is concerned, the members have already explained.
