employee. The claim amount would be the 30 times of the salary. Along

‘basic pay plus DA’.
Since, there is a ceiling of salary considered for the EDLI contribution, the
claim amount also has the upper limit. The wage ceiling for the EDLI is Rs
15,000. Thus, the maximum EDLI claim amount would be Rs 6 lakh [(30
x15,000) + 1,50,000]
In case of an unfortunate death of the employee, the nominee can claim the
insured amount. If there is no nominee, the legal heir can claim the amount.
To claim EDLI, the form 5 should be used. It is better to submit the claim
form with EPF withdrawal form.

Which one is better the EDLI of EPFO or LIC or other ? if you can bring some
comparison, it would help employees to decide. Now a days companies have started
sending email to employees to accept change over from EPFO to LIC

As far I know, You don't have any say in this regard. The employer itself
chooses the EDLI insurer.

HI, It was mentioned that EDLI is going to hike up the benefit from 3.6 lacs to 6 Lacs.
It was in the news also ( http://indianexpress.com/artic... ) any update on that ?
Given an option by employer, which of the two would you suggest, the one by EPFO
or the private players (LIC, Kotak etc)
