Please check with the workmen’s compensation authority of your area , the notional extension of working hours could be applied here in this case or not?

Dear PDS,
Pls confirm the followings:
Was the deceased covered under PF, ESIC or WC Policy?
If yes, than his family will get benefit under PF (DLIS).
If covered under ESI or EC Policy, than principally he should be entitled for compensation, as he was on the way to workplace for attending duty. (The incident time should match the timing for commuting from residence to factory/office).
