We have carefully considered rival contentions and perused the records. 8. Undisputed facts are, Jayamala is married daughter of Ratnabai.

She was living with her husband in his house. 8. Undisputed facts are, Jayamala is married daughter of Ratnabai. Ratnabai was working as a sweeper with the Airport Authority of India at Solapur. 9. In Manjuri Bera, it is recorded that married daughter in that case was not dependent on her father. She was living with her husband in his house. Therefore, she was not entitled for statutory compensation and she would inherit the estate of the deceased. 10. In Manavalagan, it is held that claimant in similar circumstance will be entitled for 1/4th of the savings or contribution of the deceased. 11. Ratnabai was aged 55 years at the time of her death and she was getting a monthly salary of Rs.35,127/-. A sum of Rs.200/has to be deducted towards professional tax. Thus, her monthly income would work out to Rs.34,927/-. As per the decision in National Insurance Company Limited vs. Pranay Sethi and Others AIR 2017 SC 5157 , 15% will have to be added towards future prospects and that works out to Rs.5,239/-. Thus, the total income comes to Rs.40,166/per month and Rs.4,81,992/per annum. At the material point of time, income tax up to Rs.1,80,000/was exempted. It is submitted by Sri Sanganagouda V. Biradar, learned advocate for the claimants that the rate of tax in the year 20122013 (financial year 20112012) was 10% and same is not disputed by Sri Rahul R. Asture, learned advocate for the insurer. After tax deduction, total salary works out to Rs.4,51,800/(Rs.4,81,992 Rs.1,80,000 = Rs.3,01,992/-x 10% = Rs.30,199/-; Rs.4,81,992 – Rs.30,199 = Rs.4,51,793/-rounded off to Rs.4,51,800/-) Loss of estate will be 25% of the salary. Since Ratnabai was aged 55 years, the applicable multiplier is 11. Thus, total loss of estate works out to Rs.4,51,800/x 11 x 25% = Rs.12,42,450/. 12. As held by the Apex Court in Magma General Insurance Company Limited vs. Nanu Ram & Others (2018) 18 SCC 130, daughter shall be entitled for Rs.40,000/towards loss of love and affection and Rs.15,000/towards funeral expenses. 13. Thus, the total compensation payable works out to Rs.12,97,450/. 14. Sri Rahul R. Asture, learned advocate for the insurer submitted that 50% of the award amount has been deposited before the Tribunal. 15. In the result, the following: ORDER (i) MFA No.31917/2013 filed by the claimants is dismissed. (ii) MFA No.32450/2013 filed by the insurer is allowed. 13.
