There is no such fixed maximum amount in this regards. Subject to the provisions of the Act ,the Tribunal may make an award determining the amount of compensation which appears to it to be just and specifying the person or persons to whom compensation shall be paid (whether made in such application or otherwise) for compensation in respect of such permanent disablement shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The method of multiplier is one of the best methods in providing compensation while choosing the multiplier the court/tribunal has to take into consideration the rising inflation, increasing salaries and increasing cost of living. Therefore, it has to determine just compensation keeping in view the Indian background, the Indian culture, the Indian legal background, and the socio-cultural circumstances existing in Indiaand Relevant statutory provisions of Act,

the amount depends on your age, your income and the number of dependents, the amount spend on your treatment, the amount required for your further treatment, the percentage of disability, the pain and suffering you are undergoing, hence taking all these factors in consideration the amount is decided.
