The
Sub Regional Office is empowered to
enhance the duration of ESB
beyond 400 days (91 days of
Sickness Benefit and 309 days of
ESB) to a maximum of 2 years in
deserving cases duly certified by
a Medical Board. ESB beyond the
period of 400 days would be
admissible upto the date on which
the insured person attains the age
of 60 years.
The
age limit of 60 years is
applicable only for those cases
where extension of ESB is allowed
beyond 309 days. In other words,
ESB upto 309 days will continue to
be payable irrespective of the
fact that an IP may have crossed
60 years of age while in receipt
of ESB within the limit of 309
days.
