Section Text
(1) If an Insured Person dies as a result of an employment injury sustained
as an employee under this Chapter (whether or not he was in receipt of any periodical payment for
temporary disablement in respect of the injury), dependants' benefit shall be payable to his dependants
specified in sub-clause (a) and sub-clause (b) of clause (24) of section 2 at such rates and for such periods
and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by the Central Government.
(2) In case the Insured Person dies without leaving behind him the dependants as aforesaid, the
dependants' benefit shall be paid to the other dependants of the deceased at such rates and for such periods
and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by the Central Government.
(3) Any decision awarding dependants' benefit under this Chapter may be reviewed at any time by the
Corporation if it is satisfied by fresh evidence that the decision was given in consequence of non-disclosure
or misrepresentation by the claimant or any other person of a material fact (whether the non-disclosure or
misrepresentation was or was not fraudulent) or that the decision is no longer in accordance with this
Chapter due to any birth or death or due to the marriage, re-marriage, or ceasing of infirmity, or attainment
of the age of twenty-five years by, a claimant.
(4) Subject to the provisions of this Chapter, the Corporation may, on such review under sub-section (3), direct that the dependants' benefit be continued, increased, reduced or discontinued.
