Employee compensation act provides for compensation to be given in case of death on duty.
Duty ends when the employee finishes his work and proceeds for home. So in case of death during travel to or from home the employer is not liable for compensation
The rules are different for those covered under ESIC

The concept of notional extension of work applies here. There are many court judgements which endorse the view that the time an employee commences his journey from home for work till the time he reaches back home after work on a normal route which he takes daily is considered to be notional extension of work and is considered on duty.

As stated by Anonymous the theory of the notional extension of the place of employment has to be applied to the facts of the case. This theory has got its own nuances which can not be explained here

Concept of notional extension in employee compensation act will apply only if the transport is provided or controlled by the employer. If the employee travels on his own and by transport independent of the employer in all aspects, the employer is not liable to pay a compensation

The concept of notional extension of work applies in all cases where an employee uses the normal route in a regular mode of transport and is not restricted to official transport. In one of the court cases, an employee used to walk to his work and get back in the same route and in the process, he used to walk across the railway line. During one of his walk back to his house, the employee was hit by the train and he died. Crossing the railway line is illegal. But, the court ruled that, since it was his regular route, and walking across was his regular mode, the concept of notional extension of work applies.
