In the 2010 amendment of the ESI Act, the scope of employment injury was extended, and accordingly, the accidents that occur while coming to or going from the place of work will also be considered as accidents during the course of employment. The only condition attached is that the nexus between the time of the accident and the place of the accident (Notional extension) should be established. Therefore, if the time of the accident is the same time the employee travels normally and the place is the same place through which he commutes regularly, then the accident will be regarded as an accident during the course of employment.
