employment due to closure of factories/establishments, retrenchment or
permanent invalidity are entitled Unemployment Allowance equal to 50% of their

The
entire information in this regard is as under:-
Sickness Benefit
Sickness Benefit represents periodical payments made to
an insured person during the period of certified sickness. To qualify for this
benefit, contribution should have been paid for at least 78 days in the
relevant contribution period. The maximum duration of Sickness Benefit is 91
days in two consecutive benefit periods. There is a waiting period of 2 days
which is waived off, the insured person is certified
sick within 15 days of the last spell for which sickness benefit was last paid.
The sickness Benefit rate is roughly equivalent to 60% of the average daily
wages of an insured person with effect from 1.12.2007.
After exhausting the Sickness benefit payable upto 91 days, an insured person if suffering from
Tuberculosis/Leprosy, mental and malignant diseases or any other specified
long-term diseases, he is entitled to Extended Sickness Benefit at a higher
rate of about 70% of average daily wage for a period of two years, provided
that he has been in continuous service for a period of 2 years or more in a
factory or establishment to which the provisions of the Act apply and fulfills
the contributory conditions. The list of these long-term diseases is constantly
reviewed and 34 diseases are included at present. The Director General/Medical
Commissioner have also been authorized to extend the
benefit to other rare diseases.
Enhanced Sickness Benefit at double the ordinary Sickness
Benefit rate i.e. at about full average daily wages is also provided to insured
person eligible to ordinary sickness benefit, for undergoing sterilization
operation for family planning, for upto 7 days in
case of Vasectomy and upto 14 days for tubectomy, the period being extendable in cases of
post-operative complication etc.
Maternity Benefit
Maternity Benefit implies periodical payment to an
insured woman in case of confinement or mis-carriage
or sickness arising out of pregnancy, confinement, pre-mature birth of child or
mis-carriage. For entitlement to Maternity Benefit,
the insured woman should have contributed for not less than seventy days in the
immediately preceding two consecutive contribution periods with reference to
the benefits period in which the confinement occurs or it is expected to occur.
The daily rate of benefit is double the standard benefit rate.
Maternity Benefit is payable for a maximum period of 12
weeks in case of confinement, 6 weeks in case of mis-carriage
and additional one month in case of sickness arising out of pregnancy,
confinement, pre-mature birth of child or mis-carriage
or medical termination of pregnancy. Maternity Benefit continues to be payable
in the event of death of an insured woman during her confinement or during the
period of 6 weeks immediately following her confinement leaving behind a child
for the whole of that period, and if the child also dies during the said
period, until the death of the child.
Disablement
Benefit
In case of temporary disability arising out of employment
injury, disablement benefit is admissible to an IP for the entire period so
certified by the Insurance Medical Officer/Insurance Medical Practitioner for
which the insured person does not work for wages. The cash benefit is not
subject to any contributory conditions and is payable at a rate equivalent to
about 75% of the average daily wage. The temporary disablement benefit is
however, not payable for an employment injury resulting in incapacity for less
than three days excluding the date of accident.
Where the disablement due to an employment injury results
in permanent, partial or total loss of earning capacity, the periodical cash
payments are made to the insured persons for life depending on the loss of
earning capacity as may be certified by a duly constituted Medical Board. The
cash benefit rate is revised periodically to protect against erosion in the
real value subject to availability of funds.
However, commutation of periodical payment is permissible
where the permanent disablement stands assessed as final and the daily rate of
benefit does not exceed Rs. 5/- per day, and where benefit rate exceeds Rs.5/-
per day but commuted value does not exceeds Rs. 30,000/- at the time of the
commencement of final award of his permanent disability.
Dependent Benefit
Periodical pension is paid to dependants of an insured
person who dies as a result of employment injury. The widow and widowed mother
receive monthly pension for life or until re-marriage. An amount equivalent to
3/5th of the disablement benefit rate is payable to the widow.
Widowed mother and each child also share among themselves an amount equivalent
to 2/5th of the disablement benefit. Children get benefit till 18
years of age, in case of infirmity, the benefit
continues to be paid, till the infirmity lasts. Married daughters are not
entitled to share dependant benefit. However, it is subject to the condition
that the total dependants benefit distributed does not exceed at any time the
full rate of disablement benefit. In case it exceeds the above ceiling, the share of each of the dependants is,
proportionately reduced. In case the insured person does not leave behind any
widow or child or widowed mother, the benefit is payable to other dependants.
The periodical increases in amount of pension linked with the cost of living
index are sanctioned from time to time to compensate for inflation.
