Hi this is the LIC's group insurance scheme in lieu of ELDI

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

Special Features:
Under the scheme as amended with effect from 24th June, 2000 the insurance benefit is equal to the average balance to the credit of the deceased employee in the Provident Fund during the last 12 months, provided that where such balance exceeds Rs.35,000, insurance cover would be equal to Rs.35,000 plus 25% of the amount in excess of Rs.35,000 subject to a maximum of Rs.60,000. Thus if the length of service is not adequate and/ or the salary is low the average balance may be substantially less and such the benefit to the employee's family is either inadequate or non-existent.

It may be noted that an employer may be exempted from consulting to this scheme, if he/she has provided for better insurance benefits through alternative scheme. LIC's Group Insurance Scheme in lieu of EDLI has been accepted as one such better alternative.

Benefits:

To The Employer:

* The premium payable by the employer is usually less than the total contribution being paid by the employer to R.P.F.C; particularly when the salary level is high and average age of the group is low.
* Settlement of claim is quicker, LIC requires only the death certificate and the Claim Form from the employer.
* Premium paid by the employer is treated as normal business expenses for Income-Tax purpose. The contribution @ 0.50% of each employee's salary is payable by the Employer to the Provident Fund Authorities.

To The Employee:
Each employee is covered for a sum assured ranging between 5,000 to 62,000 depending upon the current salary and service put in from day one irrespective of the actual balance in the Provident Fund. Alternatively every employee/ worker can be covered for a uniform sum assured of Rs.62,000.

Accident Benefit:
Double accident benefit can be allowed to the extent of the Sum Assured for an extra Premium @ Rs.0.75 per thousand Sum Assured per annum. Double accident cover under all group Schemes taken together should not exceed Rs.4.5 lacs.

Policy Parameters:

** Sum Assured depends on 'notional balance' in P.F., calculated on the basis of the salary and Past Service
