As per Section 10 of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 (now called the Employees’ Compensation Act, 1923), a claim for compensation shall be preferred before the Commissioner within two years of the accident or, in the case of death, within two years of the date of death.
– The time limit for filing a claim for compensation under the Act is specified in Section 10.
– The standard time limit is two years.
– The period runs from the date of the accident or, if death results from the injury, from the date of the death.
There are provisions for condonation of delay if sufficient cause is shown for not preferring the claim within the stipulated period, but the standard time limit is two years. Options A, B, and D are incorrect regarding the maximum time limit provided by the Act.
