Dear Sir / Madam,

Yes, the employer is liable to compensate your family since your father passed away while on duty. All his dues including salary, Provident Fund, Gratuity and Family Pension (as applicable) must be paid and settled by the Company to your mother. You may also request the Company to grant a job to your mother in the Company on compassionate grounds.

Regards,
