Understanding ESI and PF Benefits: What Support Can a Family Expect After a Sudden Loss?

Hello, I want to clarify that a person joined two months ago and suddenly passed away due to illness. What type of facilities can the employee's family receive from the ESI and PF departments?

Dear Mr. Dev, It is presumed that the employee died while in service, and the reason for death is "natural death." He is already covered under ESI and PF as per your information. Under ESI, family members are entitled to Rs 10,000 (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) towards funeral expenses. Please submit PF Composite Death Claim Form 20, 10D, and 5IF for claiming withdrawal of PF accumulations, EDLI Benefit, and pension for the spouse and children.

Please provide all details about the employee with the help of a literate person before posting a reply. Also, ensure to remit pending ESI and PF contributions.

Thank you.
