A bill has been passed in the parliament on Wednesday to ensure a compensation up to Rs 1 lakh in case of injury in an industrial accident. Any employer to violate this provision will be charged with a big penalty. The Employees Compensation (Amendment) Act 2016, that amends the Employee’s Compensation Act, 1923, was passed by Lok Sabha on August 9, 2016.

This Bill also penalises an employer who doesn’t inform his employee of his right to compensation. This bill was passed in Rajya Sabha by a voice vote after Labour and Employment Minister Bandaru Dattatreya who said that the government was committed to make sure that workers have the protection of jobs, wages, social security and recieve fair wages.
