Indira Srivastava and others 2008 (1) SCJ 907=2008 (1) An.W.R. 266 (SC) = 2008 AJ 614 = 2008 (1) TAC 424, for determining the compensation, the net income of the deceased is to be taken into consideration after deducting personal expenses and tax amount. ( 7. ) In the present case, even if personal expenses and tax amount is deducted, income of the deceased will come to Rs. 7,000/- per month. The deceased was aged 39 years and there was future prospect for his promotion and further increments. Considering these facts, income of the deceased can be safely assessed at Rs. 7,500/- per month i.e. Rs. 90,000/- per annum. After deducting one- third amount, his dependency comes to Rs. 60,000/- per annum. The deceased was aged 39 years at the time of accident, hence multiplier of 16 will be applicable. After applying multiplier of 16, compensation will come to Rs. 9,60,000/-. Apart from this, the claimants are also entitled further sum of Rs. 40,000/- undervarious heads i.e. for funeral expenses, love and affection, loss of consortium etc. etc. Thus, total compensation comes to Rs. 10,00,000/- (Rupees Ten lacks only) it is further directed that the enhanced amount shall carry interest at the rate of 7% per annum from the date of filing of appeal till its realization.
