Q123 (CISF/2020) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

The Workmen's Compensation Act has been amended and renamed as

Explanation

The Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, was renamed the Employee's Compensation Act, 1923, following the Workmen's Compensation (Amendment) Act, 2009. This legislative change was primarily intended to make the Act gender-neutral by replacing the term "workman" with "employee" throughout the statute. The amendment also significantly increased the minimum compensation amounts for death (from ₹80,000 to ₹1,20,000) and for permanent total disablement (from ₹90,000 to ₹1,40,000). The Act ensures social security for workers by providing financial compensation for injuries or death arising out of and in the course of employment. Other options like the Apprentices Act, 1961, are separate legislations dealing with the regulation and control of training of apprentices.
