13. No reason is seen to support the contention of the insurer for reduction of the compensation amount. But the contention of the claimants for enhancing the same is found with force. It is seen that the learned Tribunal taking the income of the deceased at Rs.20,917/- per month only, i.e. by taking the basic pay and special allowance, has arrived at such amount. From Ext.16, which are salary slips for the months of December, 2010, January, 2011 and February, 2011, it reveals that the deceased got Rs.52,844/-, Rs.36,733/- and Rs.36,733/- for those respective months. The date of accident is 17.3.2011. Thus taking the monthly salary given to the deceased for the month of February, 2011, which amounts to Rs.36,733/-, the income of the deceased can be very well assessed. Taking the same as monthly income, the annual incomes comes to Rs.4,40,796/-. Deducting professional tax of Rs.2500/- and income tax of Rs.23,510/there-from, the net annual income becomes to Rs.4,14,786/-. Deducting 50% towards personal expenses and again adding 50% towards future prospects, keeping in view of the age of the decease as ‘25’ years, and applying multiplier ‘18’, the total loss of dependency comes to Rs.55,99,611/-. Adding Rs.80,000/towards filial consortium and Rs.30,000/- towards general damages, the total compensation amount is determined at Rs.57,09,611/-, payable along with interest @6% per annum.
