Dear Senior, Good Afternoon! In my company, an employee committed suicide by hanging himself at home, so my question is, can his family take advantage of the Pf & Esic Benefits

Since the death is not caused by any accident while or during the course of employment, no benefit under ESI is available to the dependents.
The dependents can get PF accumulations, benefits under EDLI and pension admissible as per EPF &MP Act

Now tell us, other than funeral benefit (maximum amount of Rs 15000) what are the benefits available for death which is not due to any employment injury or occupational hazards? In my opinion dependent benefits is limited to death of insured person due to employment injury during the course of employment and death due to occupational hazards. Please correct if I am wrong.

The interesting question for judicial resolution in this case is as to whether the suicide of an employee owing to depressive neurosis consequent on an employment injury sustained by him would furnish a cause of action for his dependents to make a claim for dependents' benefits under Sec. 52 of the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948

Very well clarified that the cause of suicide is employment injury. in this case Appunni, the deceased employee had mental problems followed by the employment injury and that resulted in his suicide. The dependents could prove that his suicide had direct relationship with employment injury. Is the case posted by Ceasekk same?

This is the sam case which Mr Nathrao also cited. There is nothing in the case that says that dependents of an insured person who committed suicide will get dependents benefits from ESI Corporation. True, if the suicide is following an incident which took place at work place, it can be related to accident while on duty and death due to employment injury. The case of Appunni is not a general verdict but applies only to that situation. You cannot relate it to all suicides.

Very rightly highlighted, this case law may not made applicable into a straight cut jacket formula for all cases. Moreover mental harassment due to employment is subjected to prove with documents and contested by the Company as well before the court of law; applicability of case law is far away!
