    Study Notes

    Compensation for Injuries and Loss of Personal Property

    • Compensation Claims: Railway servants generally don't have a claim on the government for lost personal property or injuries/diseases unless covered by the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923. Families are similarly excluded.
    • Workmen's Compensation: Injuries or death due to railway service are covered by the 1923 act. If not applicable, the Railway Services Extra-ordinary Pension Rules (amended) apply.
    • Reimbursement of Expenses: Railway servants are entitled to reimbursement for hospitalisation, treatment, and artificial limbs/appliances. Reimbursement is subject to specialist certification, specific repair/replacement centers, and costs being less than replacement values.
    • Loss of Personal Property: Compensation is considered if loss is directly linked to work duties (e.g., accidents during travel, attacks by enemies/insurgents). Compensation may be granted if the loss was due to strikers/rioters and unrelated to personal action, or if the property was in a government building or saved other government property. Compensation is not given for ordinary theft/negligence/act of God.
    • Compensation Valuation: Compensation is based on the value of lost goods at the time of loss, not replacement cost.
    • Animals: Compensation may be given if animals are destroyed by authorities for disease control.
    • General Policy: Compensation grants require prior approval from the President (India).
