Hello, I am hereby putting a query regarding EDLI & Admin amount to be calculated for EPF. Previously, it was 1.36% as per norms:
In details:
- .85%
- .50%
- .01% or 200/- fixed.
Now, as per the latest amendment, they said .85% is decreased to .65% & as per Central Govt Notice vide S.O 828 (E) dated 15.3.2017 has determined that no sum shall be payable by the Employer towards the administration of the Employee Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme 1976.
Can you please clarify the above? Does it mean that an Employer has to consider only .65% of Basic or 1.15% (.65% + .50%) of Basic?
Kindly clarify.

Query Regarding EDLI Exemption and Benefits
Since 1990, our company was exempted from EDLI under U/P 28(7). Refer to the EPFO internal office order dated 6/2/2017; the concern refused to grant further exemption. From February 2017 onward, we started depositing the EDLI amount in Account 21 to EPFO. During this period, one of our employees passed away on 15/6/2017. He was a continuous member of EPF from 1992 to January 2017 with LIC and from February 2017 until his death with EPFO. Now, EPFO does not agree to pay 100% benefit and claims that since you engaged with us in February 2017, and the deceased had not completed one year with EDLI contributions, 100% benefit cannot be paid to the deceased.

Hi Chetan,
Your query is not clear; however, I submit as under:
EPF salary/wages ceiling is Rs. 15,000/-; however, the company may allow deducting PF on your actual earned Basic salary with joint consent (employee & employer).
Family Pension & DLIS wage ceiling is a maximum of Rs. 15,000 or the actual earned Basic salary, whichever is higher.
