Dear Sushil, Please note that EDLI Benefits are paid for Death while in Service irrespective of Cause of Death.Why you have not paid contribution for 6 days? reasons not mentioned by you?
Vital question to be answered is on the date of Death i.e 06/12/2016 whether the Employee was in the service of Company and continued to be member of EPF/EDLI.Whether death has occurred after leaving Service?
Please apply your mind & revert with factual information to know eligibility?

He is under ESIC treatment. that's why we do not put any contribution.

From your reply it can be construed that Employee was in Service at the time of Death.Consequent to ESI Leave, he had not earnes salary & no PF Contributions were remitted.
Deceased Employee Nominee is eligible for EDLI Benefits.But, you have to give letter in writing to EPFO mentioning about non Contribution of PF together with documents , if any

Dear Sushil,
You have strong proof that your deceased member was under medical care of ESI, thus was in your employment. Hope you have not mentioned date of leaving as 30.11.2016 in ECR.
Submit PF Form 20, 5 IF (DLIS) Form 10 C (in case of deceased member who died after attaining 58 years age but before completion of 10 years of eligible service, withdrawal benefit to family/nominee/legal heir.) alongwith Original Death Certificate and Passport size phothgraphs duly attested by employer.
You can write to PF Authority that the deceased member was on authorised sick leave duly certified by ESI Medical Practitioner, thus was in continued employment and eligible for insurance fund under DLIS.
Succession Certificate in case of application by the legal heir after death of member.
Copy of blank/cancelled cheque/Passbook.
Copies of Aadhaar Card, PAN Card.
Regards,
Suresh
