Legal Question in Employment Law in India

An injured person or his dependants have to give a notice to the employer to pay

compensation. If the employer is of opinion that he is liable to deposit compensation he shall make the deposit within thirty days of the service of the notice.

Upon the failure or refusal of an employer to give compensation, an application is

to be made in Form - F to the Commissioner under the Workmen's Compensation Act,

1923 who is the Assistant Labour Commissioner or the Labour-cum-Conciliation Officer

of the area where the accident took place or where the claimant ordinarily resides or

where the employer has his registered office. After hearing both the parties, the

Commissioner decides the claim.

Notice of the accident must be given to the commissioner in the manner specified and the claim is to be preferred before him within two years of the occurrence of the accident or in case of death within two years from the date of death
