1. Loss of dependancy = (Income of deceased- IT) x 12 x 16 (multiplier at the age of 35 years) x 2/3 (taking the no. of dependants to be 3



2. In case the deceased was holding a permanant job with regular annual increments then 50% of the amount as calculated in para 1 will be added to the amount calculated in para 1 towards the future prospects for the purpose of awarding amount on account of dependancy.
