A secured person who sustains total or partial disablement, shall be entitled upon the expiration of his entitlement to injury benefit, to receive disablement pension, according to the degree of the disablement determined by the Medical Board constituted by the Institution for this purpose.
If the degree of disablement is assessed from 21% to 66%, the secured person will be entitled to a partial disablement pension payable from the date of injury benefit ceased to be paid to him. It is calculated by the following formula. 75% of last rate of wages x degree of disablement x 3067
If the degree of disablement is assessed from 67% or above, the secured person will be entitled to a total disablement pension from the date of injury benefit ceased to be paid to him. It is calculated by the formula mentioned above.
Once a disablement pension has been put into payment, it continues until the degree of disablement has been altered by a Medical Board, (in which case the rate of payment of disablement pension will be adjusted from the date of the revised assessment) or, until the death of the recipient.
If the degree of disablement falls below 21% the disablement pension shall cease to be payable and the secured person shall be eligible for a disablement gratuity.
If the disablement pension has been paid for five years, it shall be payable for life.
If the degree of disablement is 50% or more, the recipient of disablement pension will be entitled to Medical Care even if he ceases to be in the secured employment.
Payment of disablement pension will preferably be made on the first day of each month. It could, however, be sent by post to the beneficiaries on their addresses, on their written request and at the risk of the pensioner. The Institution shall not be liable to replace the amount not received. The money order commission will, however, be borne by the Institution.
If the amount of pension is remitted to the pensioner at his native place, it is obligatory on his part to attend the concerned Directorate once a year or to send his life certificate twice a year in June and December to prove his being alive, failing which the Institution may with hold remittance of his pension.
