Periodical pension is paid to dependants of an insured person who dies as a result of an employment injury.  The widow receives monthly pension for life or until re-marriage, at a fixed rate equivalent to 3/5th of the disablement benefit rate and widowed mother and each child is paid an amount equivalent to 2/5th thereof until he/she attains 18 years of age, and in case of widowed mother, monthly pension is admissible till death / re-marriage provided that in case of infirmity, the benefit continues to be paid till the infirmity lasts.  However, it is subject to the condition that the total dependants’ benefit distributed among the widow and legitimate or adopted children of the deceased insured person, does not exceed at any time the full rate of Disablement Benefit.  In case it exceeds the above ceiling, the share of each of the dependants is, proportionately reduced.  The Benefit is not payable to married daughters.  In case the insured person does not leave behind any widow or child, the Benefit is payable to other dependants.  The amount of pension paid to the dependants of deceased insured person is linked with the cost of living index and periodical increases are sanctioned from time to time.
