Hi, Pension for the Family if the EPFO Member Dies During Active Service Term A member's family/dependents will be eligible for the pension in the following cases:
- If the EPFO member dies while in active service and the employer has deposited funds in his/her EPS account for at least one month.
- If the EPFO member has completed 10 years of service and dies before reaching the age of 58 years.
- If the EPFO member dies after the start of the monthly pension.
An important criterion is that the employee should be a contributing member to PF on the day of death.

Thank you for your prompt response. However, my question is, for example, if an employee joins our organization today but unfortunately passes away after some time, will their family/nominee be eligible for the pension or not? If they are not eligible, what are the criteria and how many days are required?

Dear Friend, he should work for 240 working days. EPF won't pay for employees who have worked for 2-5-8 months, as per a discussion with an EPF Officer long back. Hence, when you submit the application, it will be rejected. We have seen some cases in Bangalore.
