Learned Experts, Can you please enlighten us on one doubt. we are a small company covered by the S&E Act and in MAH, EC Act is extended to employees of the establishment! We have covered all employees with personal accident policy for a lumpsum, premium paid by co.(employees are above ESI limit). In case of accident arising in the course of employment would the policy settlement by the insurer would suffice compensation or we haveto pay as per EC Act. If we have to pay as per EC Act, can we offset the insurance policy amount from the actual compensation payable as per the EC Act.
