Explanation
The term 'workman' (substituted by 'employee' by the 2009 Amendment) is defined under Section 2(1)(dd) of the Employees' Compensation Act, 1923. According to Section 2(1)(dd)(ii)(b), the definition specifically includes a person employed as a captain or other member of the crew of an aircraft.
- Option A: Section 2(1)(dd) excludes persons whose employment is of a casual nature and who are employed otherwise than for the purposes of the employer's trade or business.
- Option B: Personal domestic servants, such as a personal cook for an individual, are generally excluded as they are not employed for the purpose of the employer's trade or business.
- Option C: While Schedule II covers various industrial workers, the inclusion of repair workers usually depends on specific manufacturing thresholds (typically 10 or 20 persons depending on power usage), making Option D the most legally certain answer.
