Since the death is not caused by any accident while or during the course of employment, no benefit under ESI is available to the dependents.
The dependents can get PF accumulations, benefits under EDLI, and pension admissible as per EPF & MP Act.

Benefits Available for Death Not Due to Employment Injury
Now tell us, other than the funeral benefit (maximum amount of Rs 15,000), what are the benefits available for death not due to any employment injury or occupational hazards? In my opinion, dependent benefits are limited to the death of the insured person due to employment injury during the course of employment and death due to occupational hazards. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Judicial Resolution on Employee Suicide and Dependent Benefits
The interesting question for judicial resolution in this case is whether the suicide of an employee due to depressive neurosis, consequent on an employment injury sustained by him, would furnish a cause of action for his dependents to make a claim for dependents' benefits under Sec. 52 of the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948.
This legal ruling may be of use.

Employment Injury and Suicide
Very well clarified that the cause of suicide is employment injury. In this case, Appunni, the deceased employee, had mental problems followed by the employment injury, and that resulted in his suicide. The dependents could prove that his suicide had a direct relationship with employment injury. Is the case posted by Ceasekk the same?

This is the same case which Mr. Nathrao also cited. There is nothing in the case that says that dependents of an insured person who committed suicide will get dependents benefits from ESI Corporation. True, if the suicide follows an incident that took place at the workplace, it can be related to an accident while on duty and death due to employment injury. The case of Appunni is not a general verdict but applies only to that situation. You cannot relate it to all suicides.
