Supporting a Deceased Employee's Family: What Benefits Are Legally Required?

Dear Friends and Seniors,

One of our employees died 15 days ago. Please advise on the benefits we can provide from the company or others as per the law. He passed away due to natural causes at the government military hospital. I am a personnel officer for a pig iron manufacturing plant in Karnataka.

Please reply to the above query.

We need to pay the following:

- Start with his full and final settlement and complete the same.
- Gratuity, pension, and PF.
- Insurance coverage from your organization if applicable.

Dear Sir,

Based on my knowledge, the following are the specific details:

1) Full & Final (Earned Leaves)
2) P.F.
3) Gratuity
4) LIC (If His Own Policy)
5) A One Day Pay of Each Employee (As per your company policy)

Thank you.

Whenever there is a natural death, set a target date and settle everything within 10 days.

A. Payable by company Direct (Statutory)
- Salary for the days worked
- Leave encashment
- Other benefits if any like LTA, Medical, etc., prorated.
- Gratuity

B. Insurance Related (Statutory)
- Deposit linked insurance under PF Act. If you have coverage with LIC, you can get this fast. Otherwise, make an application by legal heirs to PF Authorities.

C. PF settlement
- Send relevant forms faster to PF Authorities

D. Pension
- Pension application to PF Authorities

E. If covered under ESI,
- Apply for funeral benefit

F. Voluntary
- If the company has a scheme, like equal contribution, one day salary, etc., the same should be paid within two months

C. PF settlement
