Besides insurance-related benefits, the EDLI scheme, which is available to every PF A/c holder, provides other benefits as well-
1) Assured insurance benefits- Under this, the PF A/c holder legal heir will get up to ₹7 lakh on the EPF member in service demise.

The employer pays the premium, which amounts to 0.50% of the monthly wages subject to ₹15,000.
4) Auto-enrolment- EPFO members need not register separately to avail themselves of this benefit.
Instead, they become eligible for it upon becoming members of the EPFO.

5) Direct Bank Transfer- The benefits under this plan are linked directly to the nominee’s bank account or that of the employee’s legal heir.
In case of the EPF A/c holder’s demise, these are transferred directly to the linked bank account.
Hope you got some value.
