Dear Respected Team,
I am requesting some information on ESI/PF. One of our staff members has passed away after being ill. We need to settle his applicable dues. Kindly provide detailed guidance on who will be his legal heir and which documents we need to collect from the heir to prevent any future claims by others.
Additionally, I would like to know what benefits are offered through ESI/PF.
Thank you.

Hi,
The Legal Heir/Nominee of the Employee will be eligible for Provident Fund/Monthly Pension and EDLI.
A nominee or legal heir of an active member of EPFO gets a lump sum payment of up to Rs. 7 lakh in case of the death of the member during the service period.
The PF amount depends on the total contribution period and available balance in the PF account if the Member hasn't made any partial withdrawals.
The pension amount depends on the service period.
As for ESI benefits, Dependants benefit (family pension) is payable to dependants of a deceased insured person where death occurs due to employment injury or an occupational disease. A widow can receive this benefit on a monthly basis for life or until her re-marriage. A son or daughter can receive this benefit until eighteen years of age.
Additionally, some funeral benefit to the extent of Rs. 15,000/- will be reimbursed to the eldest surviving member of the deceased or the person who had actually incurred the expenditure to perform the last rites of the IP.
Regarding documents, check for the physical PF nomination made by the employee. Collect the Death certificate, Legal Heir Certification, Marriage Registration certificate from the spouse of the employee for processing PF/Pension benefits.
