Answer #1

Based on your father’s age (49), salary (₹53,225/month), and 4 dependents, the normal compensation under Motor Vehicles Act rules is likely to be around ₹95–100 lakh including interest. The offer of ₹57 lakh is quite low and not fair as per the usual calculation method followed by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (MACT). You can continue the case and claim the full compensation, along with interest from the date of filing.
