As many as 34 BCCL employees, including two contractual workers, have succumbed to the deadly virus recently.

“If the wife or any other eligible dependent of the deceased employee does not want employment in BCCL, the dependents of non-executives will be given a monthly compensation of Rs 26,293 and those of executives would be given a monthly compensation of Rs 40,000 till they turn 60 years.
The amounts are likely to go up considerably under the next wage revision.” Besides this, Rs 1.25 lakh under Life Cover Scheme, Covid-19 ex gratia amount of Rs 15 lakh, the accumulated amount in the CMPF and the gratuity as per the law and earned leave encashment amount will also be provided to the bereaved families, Rao said.
The company would also provide accommodation facilities to the kin of the deceased employee who would be given employment, he added.
“The BCCL central hospital was the first dedicated Covid hospital in the Dhanbad district,” Rao said, adding that more than 2,500 Covid-positive patients from Dhanbad and neighboring districts were treated in this hospital and no charge was taken for the treatment, food and medicine from them.
The company has spent Rs 7.4 crores in one year under the CSR commitments to combat the pandemic, the BCCL director said.
