My small silver chrome business has been a family for the past 30 years. Sadly, one of my employees, a loyal worker for all these years, passed away after an accident a few days ago. He was 45 years old and his family has requested compensation. I’m heartbroken and unsure of how much to provide or if I’m even obligated. Can you offer some guidance on this difficult situation?

Under Indian law, your deceased employee’s family is entitled to compensation based on the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923. The amount is determined by factors like his salary and age, and you should consult with a legal professional or the Labour Department to understand the specific requirements and calculations.

Dear Tata Motors, I, Surendra Prasad, joined your company on 4th October 1978, with employee ticket number 310162. I retired on 1st April 2013 after 25 years of service, with a last drawn salary of ₹59,115 per month. My pension is supposed to be calculated based on the Defined Benefit scheme, as per the Superannuation Fund Trust Deed, paragraphs 11.1 and 11.2. The formula clearly states that the pension should be calculated on the last drawn salary and total service period: (0.75% of last drawn salary x non-membership period) + (1.5% of last drawn salary x membership period) However, I’m receiving a pension based on a reduced salary of ₹17,465 and only 15 years of service. Why am I being denied my rightful pension amount, which should be around ₹3,13,896 per year? Could you please clarify the discrepancy and explain the reason for the reduced pension amount? I would appreciate a prompt resolution to this matter.

My share was wrongly written in the name of one of my uncles’ sons. The condition is my mother can live there but cannot sell the property. Two of my uncles are supportive, but the uncle whose son inherited my share is not willing to share. My mother deserves her share as she was also part of the family.
