If your friend died while working, then his dependents would be eligible for ESI benefits. Otherwise, his dependents are not eligible for any compensation under ESI, except for the funeral benefit of Rs. 3500/-.

Please help,

My friend has passed away, and he was covered under ESIC. Will any help be provided from ESIC or not?

Don't get confused with many replies... As an ESI Manager, I will clarify your doubt:

i) If he died due to a non-employment injury, his living elder family member will receive Rs. 5,000.00 towards funeral expenses, for which they have to fill out the form, which should be countersigned by the employer;

ii) If he died due to an employment injury (i.e., during his duty timings), his dependent family members will receive a pension.

All the best. If you have any queries, don't hesitate to call at 09443434313 or email at .

As the ESI Manager said, please don't get confused with too many replies. A month back, the ESI Act was amended. In it, they have included:

1. Accidents arising out of and in the course of employment are covered under ESI for all the benefits. (Arising out of = journey from residence to office and vice versa).
2. Kindly file an FIR if an accident arises during the journey from office to home or vice versa.
3. Obtain the death certificate.
4. Attend the legal hearing from the Local Thasildar and meet the deceased employee and employer with all the above documents.

If further data is required, please visit www.esic.com.

Hope you're clear now.

If your friend's death is due to non-employment injury, the dependants will not get anything except funeral expenses to the extent of Rs. 5000/- or the actual expenses, whichever is lower.

In case the death is due to employment injury occurred during the course of employment or out of employment, which includes the reasonable journey time from the office to house and vice versa, then the dependants will get periodical dependants' benefit as per the rates prescribed under Schedule 2 of the Act.

Please keep in mind, if the death is due to a heart attack while on duty or while coming to the office or going home due to stress and strain, the dependants will also be entitled to claim dependant benefit apart from funeral benefit.

As I already told, that depends on the fact whether he died due to employment injury or not. Further, as of now, the maximum Funeral benefit entitled to any Insured Person/woman is only Rs.5,000.
Thank you.
