Supporting a Family After an Employee's Death: Are ESIC Benefits Available?

One of our employees died at home due to a long illness. Can we provide any benefits under ESIC for his family since he was the sole earner in his family?

Dear Deepak Ji,

ESI-covered employee, the nominee is eligible for Rs 10,000/- as funeral expenses. Please contact the ESI local office with the death certificate.

Can we provide any benefits under ESIC for his family because he was the only earning person in his family? Please elaborate on your question. What benefits do you, as the employer, want to provide to the deceased employee's family?
