Dear Seniors, please let me know. One employee of our company died on 27.04.21 due to natural causes. Before his passing, he was on unpaid leave from 01.03.21 until his death. His date of exit was 27.04.21, and the cause of exit was his death. The Employee's Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) benefit is provided to employees who pass away while in service. Could you please clarify whether the member's spouse is eligible to claim EDLI benefits or not?
Thank you.

As mentioned in the query he continued to be an employee till death, the EDLI claim is admissible. Being on leave, of whatever nature, does not negate the liability for EDLI payment.

Employment Status and EDLI Claim
As long as his date of exit is not mentioned in the PF ECR, he is considered to be in employment and is a PF member until the date of death.
Medical Certificate for ESIS Coverage
By any chance, was he covered under ESIS? If yes, did he obtain a medical certificate? For safety, ask the family members to obtain a medical certificate from the family doctor who was providing medical treatment. Keep it for your official records and mark him in the office muster roll as sick until 27.04.2021. There should not be any problem settling the EDLI claim.
