Dear fraternity,

I want to know the benefits of Employee Deposit Linked Insurance in the Provident Fund Act, 1952.

Dear Piyush,

If an employee has passed away, they will be eligible for EDLI's 1976. They will receive benefits amounting to 60,000/- Rupees from the Central government (i.e. in the PF Office). However, the nominee has to fill Form-5(1F) along with providing the following documents:

- Death certificate
- FIR
- Migration certificate
- Nominee's bank passbook (xerox copy)
- Nominee's Bank Account number
- ID Proof

Hello Abbas,

I would like to inquire about the deposited amount you mentioned in your example, such as 1 lakh or 2 lakh.
