Mukhya Mantri Karamchari Samajik Suraksha Yojana - Haryana Labour Welfare Board

What is Mukhya Mantri Karamchari Samajik Suraksha Yojana?

Mukhya Mantri Karamchari Samajik Suraksha Yojana; listed on the Labour Department portal in Hindi as Mukhya Mantri Karamchari Samajik Suraksha Yojana and commonly searched as Mukhya Mantri Shramik Suraksha Yojana; is the workplace death benefit of the Haryana Labour Welfare Board (HLWB) under the Labour Department, Government of Haryana. The scheme pays Rs 5,00,000 to the widow or dependants of an employee who dies while working at the workplace of an industrial or commercial establishment in Haryana.

The Haryana Labour Welfare Board was constituted under the Punjab Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1965. Its fund comes from employee and employer contributions collected through registered establishments; as revised in January 2026, an employee contributes 0.2% of wages subject to a ceiling of Rs 35 and the employer contributes double — together with unpaid accumulations, penalties, donations and interest on deposits. This scheme is the largest single payout the Board makes to an individual family.

What sets it apart from every other Board scheme is the absence of the usual filters. The Board's bicycle and sewing machine schemes require two years of service and cap wages at Rs 20,000; the education schemes cap wages at Rs 27,000. Under Mukhya Mantri Karamchari Samajik Suraksha Yojana, the scheme conditions state that no service period is prescribed and no monthly salary is prescribed. A worker who joined a factory a week earlier is covered on the same terms as one with twenty years of service.

Who is eligible for the Rs 5,00,000 assistance?

The widow or dependants can claim if all of these hold:

• The deceased was an employee working in an industrial or commercial establishment in Haryana covered by the Punjab Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1965.
• The death occurred at the workplace, inside the boundary wall of the establishment, while the worker was on duty.
• The cause was either connected with the work or another incident at the premises such as fire or the collapse of the establishment's building.
• The claim is filed within 2 years of the date of death.

The scheme conditions add three points explicitly:

• No service period is fixed under this scheme.
• No monthly salary limit is fixed under this scheme.
• The scheme applies only to workers who were on duty.

The claim is not admissible, and dependants cannot apply, if:

• The worker was not on duty when the death occurred. This is the scheme's central limitation, stated in its own conditions.
• The death happened outside the establishment's boundary wall: at home, on leave, or elsewhere. The Board runs a separate benefit covering funeral and last-rites expenses where a contributing worker dies away from the workplace, and a further scheme of financial assistance to widows and dependants of a deceased contributing employee. Those, not this one, are the right route in such cases.
• The claim is filed more than 2 years after the death.
• The establishment is not covered by the Punjab Labour Welfare Fund Act and is not registered on hrylabour.gov.in.

What documents are required?

The requirement for both a post mortem report and an FIR is the practical bottleneck in most cases. Families should ask the police station handling the incident for a certified copy of the FIR early, because obtaining it months later is considerably harder.

How to apply for Mukhya Mantri Karamchari Samajik Suraksha Yojana

1. Inform the establishment's HR or welfare officer immediately. Employers file most claims of this kind through the employer login on hrylabour.gov.in, and the employer certificate confirming the worker was on duty can only come from them.
2. Collect the death certificate, post mortem report and FIR copy, along with the deceased worker's office identity card or smart card and the family's ration card, ESI card or Parivar Pehchan Patra.
3. Open hrylabour.gov.in and use the Welfare Board Beneficiary login at hrylabour.gov.in/login/welfare. If the deceased worker already had a beneficiary profile, the family and nominee details recorded there identify who receives the amount.
4. Where a fresh registration is needed, enter the Aadhaar number, receive the OTP on the registered mobile number, and create the login. Complete the profile with family members and their Aadhaar numbers and nominee details.
5. Select Mukhya Mantri Karamchari Samajik Suraksha Yojana from the scheme list, upload all eight documents in the prescribed proforma and file size, and submit the claim within two years of the death.
6. Note the application number. Track the claim from the dashboard; the portal shows objections with reasons, and updates go to the registered mobile number and email.
7. Follow up with the Haryana Labour Welfare Board in Panchkula if the claim remains pending after verification, since a Rs 5,00,000 sanction goes through the Board's own approval.

How to check the status of the claim

Log in at hrylabour.gov.in/login/welfare and open the application list. Each claim shows a stage, pending with the employer, pending verification, objection raised, sanctioned or paid. Where the Board raises an objection, the reason is displayed and the corrected document can be uploaded against the same application number. Families should avoid filing a duplicate claim, which restarts the queue and can create a mismatch in records.

Why workplace death claims get delayed or rejected

• FIR or post mortem report missing, so the cause and place of death cannot be established.
• Employer certificate does not confirm the worker was on duty, which is the scheme's core condition.
• Death occurred outside the establishment premises, taking the case to a different Board scheme.
• Claim filed after two years from the date of death.
• Establishment not registered on hrylabour.gov.in or not covered by the Act.
• Dependants not recorded in the worker's family and nominee details, creating a dispute over who receives the money.
• Bank account and Aadhaar name mismatch for the claimant, which stops payment after sanction.

No fee is payable for filing this claim, and the Haryana Labour Welfare Board does not authorise agents to process death benefit applications on commission. Families should also check separately whether the death attracts compensation under the Employee's Compensation Act, ESI benefits, or the establishment's own group insurance, since those run independently of this scheme.
