Hi, when a person is covered by ESI, if his/her nominee has passed away, can the insured person claim funeral expenses on behalf of the nominee?

Thanks,

Funeral Expenses

An amount of Rs. 10,000 is payable to the dependents or to the person who performs the last rites from day one of entering insurable employment. This benefit is not applicable in the case of nominees.

Thank you.
