Dear All

As per amendment in WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2009 , Amendment of section 4 “(2A) The employee shall be reimbursed the actual medical expenditure incurred by him for treatment of injuries caused during the course of employment.”; If apprentice met with an accident while on working/training result serious bodily injury , company paid him compensation as per % of disablement. But question arise at time of payment of Medical expenses which are born by apprentice.

For compensation, in apprentice there is provision in employer 's liability for compensation for injury as per provision of WC Act, (Sec 08 of 1923) but no specific word for reimbursement of medical expenses or related

Pls throw light on query, Is apprentice can eligible for medical expenditure incurred by him for treatment of injuries caused during the course of training/employment ? or not
