My employee died in January 2021 in an accident. His nominee received EDLI insurance of 3 lakhs (10k basic salary * 30 times). However, they have not received the EDLI Bonus, which should be 1.5 lakhs. Can you please guide me on how to obtain it?

EDLI Benefit Calculation
The EDLI benefit is 30 times the last 12 months' average PF salary (including all allowances less HRA). The maximum bonus amount is 1.5 lakh or 50% of the balance contribution, whichever is least.
Revised EDLI Benefit Effective April 2021
Effective 28th April 2021, the benefit amount is enhanced to INR 7L. The calculation is 35 times the average last 12-month salary (maximum 15000x35=5.25L), and the bonus amount is 1.75L, totaling 7L.

Hi Tom, the accumulated fund under account 10 for one year, approximately for a 10k salary basic, would be around $833 per month. For the full year, it would not exceed $10,000, 50% of which would be granted as a bonus provided 12 calendar months of ECR is paid by the employee (prior to death). This amounts to approximately $5,000 and not $1.5 lacs or $1.75 lacs, as it depends on the tenure of the contribution span.
