Dear Friends,
To make it clear I will give three examples:
Company A provided bus to all of their employees for pick up and droping of their employees. If any accident occured to the bus during the journey - the employer is responsible.
Mr. X who is working in company A going to office by bike met with an accident and suffered with major injuries. - The employer is not responsible.
Mr. Y working as a Marketing executive in company A met with an accident and died while going to meet a client - The employer is resposible

In my opinion "out of and in the course of his employment" includes journey to office and back from office to home. Reproduced below is is the phrase from Workman Compensation Act:
Employer's Liability For Compensation
1. The employer of any establishment covered under this Act, is required to compensate an employee:
Who has suffered an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, resulting into (i) death, (ii) permanent total disablement, (iii) permanent partial disablement, or (iv) temporary disablement whether total or partial, or
2. Who has contracted an occupational disease.
HOWEVER THE EMPLOYER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE
1. In respect of any injury which does not result in the total or partial disablement of the workmen for a period exceeding three days;
2. In respect of any injury not resulting in death, caused by an accident which is directly attributable to-
i) the workmen having been at the time thereof under the influence or drugs, or
ii) the willful disobedience of the workman to an order expressly given, or to a rule expressly framed, for the purpose of securing the safety of workmen, or
iii) the willful removal or disregard by the workmen of any safeguard or other device which he knew to have been provided for the purpose of securing the safety of workmen.
The burden of proving intentional disobedience on the part of the employee shall lie upon the employer.
iv) when the employee has contacted a disease which is not directly attributable to a specific injury caused by the accident or to the occupation; or
v)when the employee has filed a suit for damages against the employer or any other person, in a Civil Court

Dear Tanvi,
I worked on your question & after discussing with legal personnels I came to know that when a person "starts from his home & leaves company for his home" , this time period is called "during the course of employment" as per ESI act. And that person you are talking about is entitle to get all compensations as per ESI act.(Kindly ignore my first answer as practicaly i never faced this kind of cases.)

It is not a sharing fund but whatever compensation is payable under the Workmen's (Employees) Compensation Act is to be borne only by the employer and nothing is deducted from the salary of the employee(s)

Dear friends, Please give right suggestion for the persons who need your help. If you are not confident on what you are writing pls do not comment. This will lead to lot of confusion for the person who is already in pain. It the Establishment in which the Employee injured/deceased working is covered under PF: when a person meets with accident on the way to work or vice versa it is considered as death while in service and the Employee's dependents are eligible for Insurance under Form 5 IF. Similarly, if the Establishment is covered under ESI, the same applies. Kindly get the right information from the concerned Dept and avail the right benefits.
