In India, any organisation with more than 20 employees must mandatorily have Workmen's Compensation Insurance. This mandate by the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948 ensures that employees and workers receive insurance benefits from their employers. Even those companies that employ less than 20 employees must sign up for the insurance policy in order to comply with the rules and regulations mentioned in the Fatal Accidents Act, 1855 and Workmen's Compensation Insurance Act, 1923.
