Explanation:

Employer must pay the compensation to the workman within one month of time. If employer fails to pay the compensation within one month of time, the commissioner can direct the employer to pay Compensation amount by adding 12% of simple interest per annum or specified by the Central Government.

If there is no proper reason or there is no justification by the employer for delay in payment of compensation, in that case the commissioner can direct the employer to pay extra sum of not exceeding 50% of compensation amount as the penalty. [Sec 4A (b)].
