As per the provisions of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, the duties of every contractor or employer of an establishment employing inter-State migrant workers include:

(B) in case of fatal accident or serious bodily injury to any such worker, to report to the specified authorities of both the States and also to the next of kin of the worker.
(C) to provide retention allowance to the inter-State migrant worker when not in employment.

Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Under Section 60 of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (formerly the duties under the Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act, 1979), every contractor or employer of an establishment employing inter-State migrant workers must ensure suitable conditions of work having regard to the fact that the worker works in a State other than his own (A); in case of a fatal accident or serious bodily injury, report to the specified authorities of both the States and to the worker's next of kin (B); and extend to such worker all benefits available to a worker of that establishment, including provident fund and employees' state insurance benefits and the facility of medical check-up (D). The Code does not provide for any retention allowance (C); instead, the employer must pay a yearly lump sum journey fare to the worker's native place and back [Section 61]. Hence every option containing C is wrong.
