Dear All,
A recent judgment delivered by the Bombay High Court states that ESIC is not payable to dependents of a workman who died due to natural causes during the course of duty. Please find the analysis in my signature link.

What the hell is wrong with ESIC? How can they refuse benefits to an insured who died while in the factory? They are worse than private profiteering insurance companies. And our minister increases the limit to get more covered. I feel sorry for the pain and harassment the widow had to go through.

If the death arises out of employment (incidental to or connected with), then only a person will be liable for dependent benefits legally. However, there are various judgments on such cases. Even a notional extension of employment is also covered here. That is why FORM 18 is filled out.
The Bombay High Court case needs to be studied in detail.

I agree with you, sir, completely. However, there are instances where ESIC has rejected a claim of a heart attack on the plea that there is no nexus between a heart attack and work (in some cases, it won as well). The above judgment of the Bombay High Court is different from the rest of the judgments.
