Applicability of Workmens Compensation Act

Hi Shweta ,

Workmens Compensation act is applicable even on applicablity of ESI . If any injury occurs in an establishment , if the employee is covered under ESI he can avail the insurance benefits from ESI else the employer compensates under the schedules of workmens compensation Act

Section 61 of the ESI Act provides that  When a person is entitled to any of the benefits provided by this Act, he shall not be entitled to receive any similar benefit admissible under the provisions of any other enactment.
In view of above if an employee is covered under the ESI Act and becomes entitiled to a compensation in case of employment injury, he shall have to claim from ESI.

What is the procedure of getting covered in the ESI ACT for a power plant ?

Dear Shewta,

When provisions of ESI Act is applicable 2 any company then W.C. Act w'll not be applicable.

I agree 2 views of Adv. Thukral.

If the power plant is under ESI covrerage area  then provisions of the ESI Act w'll be applicable . Every Employee drawing a monthly salary / wages up to Rs. 10000/-  has 2 be brought under the ESI scheme.
