Accidental Benefit
About Accidental Benefit
Run by the Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, Labour Department, West Bengal, the “Accidental Benefit” is a welfare scheme for the board’s registered workers. The Board gives money to a beneficiary who is hospitalised for 5 or more days or is disabled because of an accident. A registered construction worker left permanently disabled gets a monthly pension, and if that pensioner dies, the spouse/nominee receives a monthly family pension.
