In case of the death of a municipal corporation employee due to coronavirus, is the employee entitled to compensation under the Compensation Act of 1923? Is there a rule that a deceased employee has to serve a certain number of months in the municipal corporation to be eligible for compensation?

Municipal Corporation employee and the employer? Who is the employer in respect of a government department? Naturally, the municipal corporation. And for death due to corona, there are other guidelines for the payment of compensation.

I have corrected the spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors in the text while ensuring proper paragraph formatting. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.

Good discussion. I liked the responses by Madhu Sir.

If someone wants to establish that the death caused due to Covid-19 is contracted arising out of and in the course of employment, then he has to go to court and bring convincing evidence to support it.

I agree with Prabhat Ranjan. COVID-19 or any other epidemic disease may not be covered under the EC Act and cannot be considered an Occupational Health Hazard. This pandemic is an unprecedented situation that caught many off guard, including lawmakers.
