Understanding EDLI Contributions: Is It Calculated on ₹6,500 or Your Actual Basic Salary?

Could somebody help me with the query that EDLI goes to A/C No. 21? Does it calculate based on ₹6,500 or the actual basic salary amount?

The Employee Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) goes to Account Number 21 and is calculated based on the basic salary. If the amount is less than Rs. 6,500/-, then it will be based on the actual amount. If the basic salary exceeds Rs. 6,500/-, then it will be calculated based on Rs. 6,500/- only.

Regards,

The EDLI contribution is 0.5% of (basic + DA + food concession) and is limited to a maximum of Rs 32.50. I hope this information helps you.

The purpose of the scheme is to provide life insurance benefits to employees who are already covered under PF/FPF. The employer has to pay a contribution equal to 0.50% of the total wages of employees, in addition to administrative charges of 0.01% of total wages. [Notification no. AO 503(E) dated 28th July 1976 issued u/s 6C (2) of PF Act].



The employee does not contribute any amount to the scheme. The salary limit for coverage of employees is the same as that of the Provident Fund.

Exemption from the scheme can be obtained from RPFC if the LIC Group Gratuity scheme is adopted by the employer. If an exemption is granted, only inspection charges @ 0.005% are payable to PF authorities.
