Regarding disability compensation.

It is absolutely illegal on the company's part to do that. Your father was injured and lost his eye permanently in course of his employment. You can approach the labour court and file a suit for compensation. You can approach a good lawyer locally for the case. Further, the company however big it may be but all are equal before law but the process may take time since it is a legal situation and you must have courage and patience to withstand the delay.

No one can give a right  opinion on this unless you give some more details like

1. Whether  he is a ESIC member

2.What is his designation

3.What is the nature of his work

4.What is his Salary.

5.What type of policy he was covered ( WC policy  or 24 hrs accident policy etc )

Those who are covered under ESIC act will not be covered under the Workmen compensation act. In this case no claim of compensation under any law is not possible

Those who are not covered under ESI act and working in the capacity of a supervisor or manager , again he is not covered under Workmen compensation Act.

Please give me the details. I shall tell you what  can be done / what can not be done.

As discussed above, if your father  comes within the definition of "workman" under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, then it is obligatory on the part of Employer to deposit the amount of compensation payable to your father within 30 days from the date of accident, before the Commissioner of Workmen's compensation (i.e. Labour Judge) and if the employer fails to deposit the claime amount when it becames due, he will be futher liable to pay the amount of penaly (Maximum upto 50 % of the compensation amount) and therefore it is advisable to contact advocate of your city and approach the Commissioner of Workmen's Compensation to recover the legible amount of compensation payable to your father.
