PF New Rules: Good news for EPFO account holders! Now you will get Rs 50,000 in EDLI even on empty PF account, check details

 

Earlier it was necessary that there should be 50 thousand rupees deposited in the PF account, only then this benefit was available, but now this condition has been removed. Not only this, under the new rules, if an employee dies within six months of receiving his last salary, then also his dependents will get the benefit of this insurance.

PF New Rules: The purpose of the Employee Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme (EDLI) run under EPFO is to provide security to the employees of the organized sector. If an employee dies during his job, then under this scheme, his family gets a lump sum insurance amount, which can range from ₹ 2.5 lakh to ₹ 7 lakh. The special thing is that the employee does not have to pay any money from himself for this insurance.

Biggest relief: Now you will get ₹50,000 in any case


EPFO has made a very important change in the rules of EDLI. Earlier the rule was that on the death of the employee, the family should have at least ₹50,000 deposited in his PF account to get insurance benefits. Now this condition has been abolished. This means that even if an employee has less than ₹50,000 in his PF account, or even if the account is empty, his dependents will definitely get insurance benefits of at least ₹50,000. This change is a big relief especially for the families of low-paid and new employees.
The time limit for filing death claim has been increased

In the new rules, the time limit for filing a claim after death has also been increased. Now if an employee dies within six months of receiving his last salary, his family will still be able to get the insurance benefit of EDLI. Earlier this time limit was much less than this, due to which many families faced problems.

Benefits are secure even if you change jobs

Another important change has been made in the rule of continuous service. Now if an employee has to complete one year of continuous service, and there is a gap of 60 days i.e. two months between his two jobs, then also his service will be considered continuous. That is, if someone has done many jobs and there is a gap of less than two months between each, then the duration of all his jobs will be added together. This will enable his family to get full insurance benefits.
