Sir,
How much minimum service is required to get EDLI benefits from EPFO as My nephew was expired during in his service and his service was 3 month only .
Please let me know about the EDLI whether his family members are eligible for the EDLI Amount or not
Ans: I'm genuinely sorry for your loss. The Employee's Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) scheme by EPFO provides insurance coverage to employees in case of unfortunate events. To be eligible for EDLI benefits, an employee usually needs to have a minimum of one month of service. However, the coverage amount varies based on the service duration and the average monthly pay of the employee.
In your nephew's case, with a service of just three months, he might be eligible for EDLI benefits. The EDLI benefit can provide some financial support to his family during this challenging time.
It's important to approach the EPFO with all relevant documents to claim the EDLI amount. They will guide you through the process and provide clarity on the eligibility criteria and the amount payable.
Remember, while EDLI can offer some relief, it's also crucial to explore other support systems and financial planning options to ensure the family's long-term financial well-being.
