I want to know whose amount we will consider for insurance amount calculation under the EDLI scheme in the case of death. I have read in books that the average of deposits of the last twelve months as well as total service will be calculated, and whichever is less will be taken for the calculation. However, I could not understand it clearly. Can anyone explain this problem with an example?
Thanks.

EDLI is the abbreviation of Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme. Here, "deposit" means the average deposit in EPF. When an employee dies while in service, the family will receive some compensation based on his/her deposit. To claim the compensation, the employer has to pay 0.5% as its premium.
Determination of Deposit:
The average deposit of the last twelve months as well as the total service will be calculated, and whichever is less will be taken for the calculation.
Determination of Compensation:
For deposits up to Rs. 50,000 (as calculated above), the family will receive the actual amount. Beyond the first Rs. 50,000, they will receive 40% of the remaining amount, subject to a ceiling of Rs. 100,000.
For example:
a) Deposit Rs. 100,000
- For the first Rs. 50,000: Rs. 50,000
- For the next Rs. 50,000: Rs. 20,000
Total: Rs. 70,000 (full amount received as it does not exceed Rs. 100,000).
b) Deposit Rs. 200,000
- For the first Rs. 50,000: Rs. 50,000
- For the next Rs. 150,000: Rs. 60,000
Total: Rs. 110,000 (only Rs. 100,000 received as it exceeds Rs. 100,000).
c) Deposit Rs. 300,000
- For the first Rs. 50,000: Rs. 50,000
- For the next Rs. 250,000: Rs. 100,000
Total: Rs. 150,000 (only Rs. 100,000 received as it exceeds Rs. 100,000).
However, there are better insurance schemes available with the same premium, even without considering the deposits. Some organizations are exempted from EDLI and instead provide better benefits in lieu of it. These schemes specify more than Rs. 100,000 for natural death and double benefits for accidental death.
