Any amount paid as compensation to a person involved in an accident by the employer directly can not be taken back or adjusted when the final compensation is given under Employee Compensation Act.
The only way you can adjust it is if it was given as an advance under humanitarian grounds, with the prior written approval of the concerned labour commissioner.
In fact, even if the full compensation is given but directly, the Labour Commissioner is required to ignore the same and ask the Employer to give the entire amount again
