An accident caused to an employee while he is on tour is covered under the EC Act 1923 as he is entirely on duty while on tour. So the accident 'arose out of and in the course of employment'. As regards accident happening while being outside the premises, the factual position needs to be verified as to whether the 'accident arose out of and in the course of employment'. Both the conditions have to be met, with notional extension of employment he could be deemed to be in accident arose in the course of employment but the crux of the issue did it occur arose out of employee. In simple terms the question is whether the employee was at the accident site out of employment terms (like employer arranged transport which is mandatory) or was he like any other person (like in public transport)

The employee met with an accident during his tour ( tour means it is outside the work premises) is nothing but in the course of employment. The employee is eligible for compensation from the employer for his disablement and expenditure for the medical treatment.
Where is the problem?

If the employee is covered under ESIC then will receive compensation from ESIC or otherwise under EC Act.

Hi,

If the Employee is covered under ESI ESI Act? The accidents caused during commutation to work and back are considered work related and paid benefits to the covered IPs.

If Employer had provided Mediclaim insurance facility the the same can also be utilized for hospitalization expenses.

The EC Acts only applicanle to the employee while functioning in an establishment has sustained any personal injury (whether physical or phycological) by an accident, then employer shall be liable to compensate such an employee.
Any accident to employee out side work premises does not come under the liability to the employer. But, the employee can get compensation, where employer has taken insurance or other wise not.
