Where the disablement due to an employment injury results in permanent, partial or total
loss of earning capacity, the periodical payments are available to the insured persons for life as a percentage of the Permanent Disablement rate depending on the loss of earning capacity as many be certified by a duly-constituted Medical Board. The rates of Disablement Benefit are determined in accordance with the provisions of Rule 57 of E.S.I. (Central) Rules, 1991. Steps have been taken to increase these rates to protect erosion in real value of the periodical payments of permanent Disablement Benefit against rise in cost of living index from time to time.
Commutation of periodical payments is permissible where the permanent disablement stands assessed as final and the daily rate of benefit does not exceed Rs.5.00 per day. The Corporation has approved commutation of Permanent Disablement Benefit into lump; sum payment where commuted value does not exceed Rs.30,000/-.
