Q.2 Define an “Accident” as given in the workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923. When it is said to arise out of
and in the course of an employment?
Ans ACCIDENT
The word Accident has not been defined in the Act. It means any unexpected mishap, untoward
event or consequences brought about by an unanticipated act which could not be provided
against. Whether particular occurrence is accident or not it must be looked upon not only from
the point of view of the person who cause it but also from the point of view of the person who
suffers it.
In State of Rajasthan V Ram Prasad and another the workman died due to natural lightening
while working at the site. It was held by the Supreme Court that in order that workman may
succeed in his claim for compensation, it is no doubt true that the accident must have casual
connection with the employment and arise out of it but if the workman is injured as a result of
natural force of lightening though it in itself has no connection with employment of deceased
Smt. Gita, the employer can still be held liable if the claimant shows that the employment
exposed the deceased to such injury. In the present case the deceased was working on the site
and would not have been exposed to such hazard of lightening had she not been working so.
Therefore the appellant was held liable to pay compensation.
Q.5.
a) Gratuity when becomes payable?
b) Who are entitled for payment of Gratuity?
Ans
a) When is Gratuity payable? :
By Virtue of Section 4(1), Gratuity shall be payable to an employee on the termination of his
employment after he has rendered continuous service for not less than five years-
i) On his superannuation or
ii) On his retirement or resignation or
iii) On his death or disablement due to accident or disease
It has been provided that the completion of continuous service of five years shall not be
necessary where the termination of the employment of any employee is due to death or
disablement.
Q.4 What is procedure for determination and recovery of dues from employer under
the employee’s provident fund and miscellaneous provision act?
Ans MODE OF RECOVERY OF MONEY’S DUE FROM EMPLOYERS
To invoke section 8 of the Act, the employer must be under a legal liability to transfer the assets.
An amount due may, if the amount is in arrear, be recovered in the manner specified in Section
8-B to 8-G. Recovery may be made from the employer in relation to an establishment to which
any scheme or, the Insurance scheme applies of any amount lying in arrear in respect of the
following:
1) Any contribution payable to the fund or as the case may be, the Insurance Fund; or
2) Accumulations in any provident fund standing to the credit of the employees who become
members of the Fund or, as the case may be the Insurance fund established under the
Scheme or, the Insurance Scheme; or
3) Accumulations to the credit of an employee exempted under section 17(1), 17(1-A) and
17(2) of the Act; or
4) Damages recoverable under Section 14-B; i.e., for default in the payment of any contribution
to the fund, family pension fund or the insurance fund or in the transfer of accumulation in
any provident fund or in the transfer of accumulations to the credit of an employee exempted
under section 17(1), 17(1-A) and 17(2) of the Act; or
5) Damages recoverable under section 14-B for default in the payment of any charges payable
under other provision of this Act or the scheme or the Insurance Scheme or under any of the
conditions specified under section 17 of the Act.
6) Any charges payable by the employer under any other provisions of the Act or scheme or
the Insurance Scheme.
Similarly recovery may also be made, in the manner specified in Section 8-B to 8-G from an
employer in relation to an exempted establishment, of any amount remaining in arrear in respect
of the following:
1) Damages recoverable under section14-B, as stated above in paras 4 and 5 of this section.
2) Any charges payable by the employer to the Appropriate Government under any provisions
of this Act or under any of the conditions specified under section 17 or in respect of the

But for the collection of any arrears the Provident Fund Commissioner must send the recovery
certificate to the collector of the district or the place where his office is situated. The collector
and not the Provident Fund Commissioner shall send the recovery certificate to the collector of
another district. In a proceeding to recover the employer’s contribution, the property of the
employer attached by the court, subject only to the burden of the entire mortgage held by the
Bank, notwithstanding the fact that the demand in respect of the employer’s contribution amount
of the employer’s contribution has not been determined, no proceedings for recovery can be
taken under this section.
