Employee Deposit Link Insurance

Employee Deposit Link Insurance

Employees Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme or EDLI is an insurance cover provided by the EPFO (Employees Provident Fund Organisation) for private sector salaried employees. The registered nominee receives a lump-sum payment in the event of the death of the person insured, during the period of the service.

Need for EDLI

All employees to whom the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provision Act, 1952 applies, have a Statutory liability to subscribe to Employees’ Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme, 1976 to provide for the benefit of Life insurance to all their employees.

Under this scheme, the deceased employee’s insurance benefit will depend on the length of service and the PF balance in the account. This policy charges lesser premium offers income tax benefits to employees and a higher sum assured.

Key Features

  • EDLI applies to all employees with a basic salary under Rs. 15,000/- per month. If the basic salary goes above Rs. 15,000 per month, the maximum benefit is capped at Rs. 6,00,000/-
  • There is no need for the employees to contribute to EDLI. Their contribution is required only for EPF.
  • There is a bonus of Rs. 1,50,000/- available under the EDLI.
  • Any organisation that has more than 20 employees needs to register for EPF. Therefore, any employee who has an EPF account automatically becomes eligible for the EDLI scheme.
