Understanding the New EDLI Amendment: How Will It Affect Your Benefits?

Dear All,

It is understood from the above notification that until 08.01.2011, those who die immediately after registering with EPF will receive only a minimum amount equivalent to one month's contribution. For the ceiling salary, this will be Rs. 1018.55 (12% (employee) + 3.67% (employer) = 15.67%, 15.67% x 6500 = 1018.55).

According to the new notification, the EDLI amount will be calculated as follows:
1) Calculate the entitled amount based on PF deposit, subject to a ceiling of Rs. 1,00,000.
2) 20 times the salary subject to a salary ceiling of Rs. 6500. Based on this calculation, the ceiling will be Rs. 1,30,000. The higher amount between (1) and (2) will be provided as EDLI. Generally, 20 times the salary subject to a salary ceiling of Rs. 6500 will be guaranteed for EDLI. For the ceiling salary, this will be Rs. 1,30,000. 130000/1018.55 = 127.63, meaning the minimum is increased by 127.63 times!

Therefore, effective from 08.01.2011, there will be a minimum of 20 times the EDLI-applicable salary (which may vary based on the salary). The maximum amount will be Rs. 1,30,000.

Subject - Re: Amendment to EDLI Scheme made on 8.1.2011

Dear all,

The above notification on EDLI amendment will create a revolution in the history of EDLI. Till 08.01.2011, those who die immediately after registering with EPF will receive only a minimum amount of one month's contribution. For the ceiling salary, this will be Rs. 1018.55 (12% (employee) + 3.67% (employer) = 15.67%, 15.67% x 6500 = 1018.55).

As per the new notification, the EDLI amount will be calculated as follows: 1) Calculate the entitled amount based on PF deposit subject to a ceiling of Rs. 1,00,000. 2) 20 times the salary subject to a salary ceiling of Rs. 6500. According to this calculation, the ceiling will be Rs. 1,30,000. Out of the above (1) & (2), whichever is higher will be given as EDLI. In general, 20 times the salary subject to a salary ceiling of Rs. 6500 will be guaranteed towards EDLI. For the ceiling salary, this will be Rs. 1,30,000. 130000/1018.55 = 127.63, i.e., the minimum is enhanced by 127.63 times!

Therefore, effective 08.01.2011, there will be a minimum of 20 times the applicable salary for EDLI (this may vary subject to salary). The maximum will be Rs. 1,30,000.

EPF Pension and EDLI Benefits for Deceased Employee

One of our employees passed away due to an electric shock. He worked with us until December 31, 2010, and then went to work in a workshop where he passed away on January 18. That workshop did not have any PF coverage. Will his nominees receive EPF pension and EDLI benefits? He was a bachelor.

If I am not mistaken, it is subject to a member of PF for a period of 12 months. Please clarify.

Raj

Those who enrolled in PF with one day of attendance will be entitled to get EDLI on the event of the death of the member. Abbas.P.S

Advantages of Choosing LIC Over EDLI

Mr. Abbas, can you please help me out by providing a clear picture of the advantages of taking up LIC instead of EDLI? Currently, we are opting for LIC over EDLI, but after the recent amendment, I am a bit confused about the actual benefits of choosing LIC. I would also like to know if there are any disadvantages associated with this decision.

Regards,

Comparison of LIC and EDLI Benefits

LIC will provide slightly more benefits than EDLI in the case of natural death. For accidental death, LIC offers the provision to receive double benefits, which is not available with EDLI.

Regards,
Abbas.P.S

As per the new notification, the EDLI amount will increase from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 130,000. Please confirm whether the ceiling amount has also been raised from Rs. 6,500 or not.
