Hi,
Its accident in the workplace.
Full and final settlement till the date of death - May i know how to calculate the settlement?
Should we consider the years of service in past & future as well? Do the monthly gross will remain the same for the future compensation as well?
Thanks,

Since the death has happened during the course of employment, the dependents of the deceased employee should be paid compensation as per Employees Compensation Act. The amount of compensation will be equal to 50% of his last drawn salary (which can be capped to a maximum of Rs 15000) multiplied by an age factor. Please find the attachment regarding the factor and calculate the amount of compensation payable. This is in addition to the payments as detailed by others here.

Babita,
In continuation to my previous post and in reply to your query I would like to ask you one thing, ie, whether your gratuity was invested in LIC? and If yes, whether you had purchased a death cum gratuity policy which enables the dependents of a deceased employee to get gratuity calculated based on the superannuation date? If your answer is yes, then the LIC will pay the gratuity with future service. If you have not invested the gratuity fund in policies and the state government has notified the section 4A of the Payment of Gratuity Act, then you need to pay gratuity for the service till date of death only.

Dear Madhu, Your detailed note enabled me to conclude with the compensation. There was no gratuity policy invested in LIC. Thanks, Babitha B

Suresh, very good calculation sheet. I have a doubt. In respect of an employee who has joined very recently, say worked only for 3 months, how the average is arrived at by the EPFO for EDLI purpose? Is it 45000 (EDLI qualifying salary for 3 months) divided 3 or 12?
If it is average of 12 months, as the Act says, then we have to put '0' against the months in which he has not worked and if so the average will be Rs 3750 and the amount admissible will be calculated accordingly. But if you ignore the cells completely, then the average will become Rs 15000 (ie, 45000/ 3) and, obviously, he will get Rs 525000 (plus whatever bonus is applicable)
In respect of an existing member who joins our company with a previous service also the average would be the average of 12 months. The confusion is with regard to a new employee. Can you please clarify?
