Compensation increased considering raise in annual notional income of a non-earning member pursuant to 1994 amendment in MV Act

 Admittedly, under the Second Schedule to
Section 163-A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, which was
applicable at the relevant time, the annual notional income of
a person who is a non-earning member is calculated at the
rate of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand Only). However,
after the amendment made in the year 1994 and after the
various decisions of the Hon’ble Apex Court from time to time,
this notional income has to be increased from Rs.15,000/-
(Rupees Fifteen Thousand only) to Rs.30,000/- (Rupees Thirty
Thousand only), which has to be considered by the Tribunal
under the facts and circumstances of each case. In this case,
it has been fixed to Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand
only) per annum.
