The Employee Deposits Insurance Scheme or EDLI is insurance coverage provided by the EPFO ââ(Employee Welfare Organization) for employees in the private sector. This scheme works in combination with the EPF and the Employee Retirement System (EPS). The extent of the indemnity is determined by the employee’s last salary received.
The registered nominee of the EDLI system receives a lump sum indemnity in the event of the death of the EPF member, during the period of service. The nominee registered in the EDLI is the same as the one registered in the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) scheme.
EPFO recently tweeted from its official Twitter account about the features of the program.
