#notional income homemaker

The Karnataka High Court ruled that homemakers' notional income must align with market wages, setting Rs.7,500/month for a tailor-homemaker. The Court recalculated loss of future income at Rs.3.97 lakh, eliminating duplicative awards under future prospects. This judgment reinforces fair compensation standards for homemakers in motor accident claims.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that compensation for homemakers in motor accident claims must account for the economic value of household services, including future prospects, without deducting personal expenses. This sets a precedent for fairer compensation calculations nationwide, impacting all motor accident claims involving homemakers.
