Act is Workman Compensation Act and not Employee's Compensation law as you wrote.
Wages for the purpose of calculation of salary includes any privilege or benefit which is capable of being
estimated in money, other than a travelling allowance or the value of any
travelling concession or a contribution paid by the employer of a workman
towards any pension or provident fund or a sum paid to a workman to cover
any special expenses entailed on him by the nature of his employment
