Hi there,
Is there anyone here who could clarify the differences between the EDLI scheme launched under the Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act and the scheme launched by LIC in relation to the EDLI Scheme?

LIC’s scheme is to be taken separately whereas EDLI of EPF shall be covered automatically. As regards, benefits available to the members, I do not think any difference. Regards, Madhu.T.K

Hi Madhu,
As far as I know, there is a significant difference in the compensation amount received by the employees in the case of death. In the EDLI scheme, dependents of the employee receive approximately Rs 35,000, whereas under the LIC scheme, the same recipients receive an approximate amount of Rs 70,000.
Thank you.

Understanding the Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) Scheme
EDLI is the abbreviation for the Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme. Here, "deposit" refers to the average deposit in the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF). When an employee dies while in service, the family will receive compensation based on his or her deposit. To claim, 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
- Up to Rs. 50,000/-, the actual amount will be received.
- Beyond the first Rs. 50,000/-, 40% of the rest will be received, subject to a ceiling of Rs. 100,000/-.
Example Calculations
Example a): Deposit Rs. 100,000
- For the first 50,000 - 50,000
- Next 50,000 - 20,000
- Total - Rs. 70,000 (will receive the full amount as it does not exceed Rs. 100,000).
Example b): Deposit Rs. 200,000
- For the first 50,000 - 50,000
- Next 150,000 - 60,000
- Total - Rs. 110,000 (will receive Rs. 100,000 only as it exceeds Rs. 100,000).
Example c): Deposit Rs. 300,000
- For the first 50,000 - 50,000
- Next 250,000 - 100,000
- Total - Rs. 150,000 (will receive Rs. 100,000 only as it exceeds Rs. 100,000/-).
However, there are better insurance schemes with the same premium, even without considering the deposits. Some organizations are exempt from EDLI and provide better benefits in lieu of it. Some schemes specify more than Rs. 100,000/- for natural death and double benefits for accidental death.
Therefore, the difference mentioned above is that in EDLI, it depends on the deposit; whereas in insurance, it is not linked to the deposit.
