The family of the deceased member including orphans are also entitled to benefits under the EDLI Scheme 1976. The maximum benefit under para 22(3) has now been increased to Rs.7 lakhs, while minimum benefit has been reinstated as Rs.2.5 lakhs w.e.f., 15.02.2020. Furthermore, now the minimum benefit of Rs.2.5 lakhs & maximum benefit of Rs.7 lakhs shall also be available in such cases where the deceased member was in continuous employment for 12 months prior to his death in the same establishment/multiple establishments.
However, it is noticed that it becomes difficult for the orphans to claim these benefits as loss of parents, not only results in mental trauma for such child, but may also result in his/her physical relocation. Therefore a need is felt that in such cases the employer of the parents should also proactively assist the orphans in claiming their due benefits under the Employees Provident Fund & Act 1952.
Therefore, all employers are requested to immediately forward the list of deceased employees, contact number of the families, UAN / PF No. of the establishment as per the prescribed format in the notification, who may have lost their lives due to the onset of Pandemic, to the designated officer.

With the above coming into effect from May 2021 contributions payable in Jun 2021, all contributing members will have to seed AADHAAR to UAN as KYC to allow their contributions to be remitted through monthly ECR. It is important to have this activity completed by their employees as this would not only have an impact on remittance of contributions though ECR but would also involve interest and penal damages for late remittance for such employees who do not have AADHAAR seeded to UAN unless such contributions are remitted through miscellaneous challans. Remittance of contributions through miscellaneous challan would have an impact on employee related claims as transfer of contributions from establishment suspense account to employee account is a time consuming process wherein timelines cannot be specified.

Medical Benefits For ESIC Pensioners
1. Entry & exit process to and from the ESIC- Pensioner Medical Scheme and fixed medical allowance - the Member has to mandatorily opt for PMS before the date of retirement. If such an option is not exercised, the member would be eligible for fixed medical allowance from the next month of retirement. If the pensioner opts for PMS after the date of retirement, he can do so by paying Rs 30 as admission fee and refund the fixed medial allowance received. Further opting out by the pensioner would result in losing both the benefits FMA and PMS
2. Eligibility of Super Specialty Medical Treatment – As along as the pensioner has opted for PMS, the pensioner would be eligible for super specialty treatment and the condition of six months waiting period has been withdrawn.
3. Medical Treatment: Medical treatment for the pensioner with respect to cashless medical treatment comprising of treatment in case of emergency, treatment at ESIC hospital, treatment from ESIC empanelled hospital– Further treatment can be done on re-imbursement basis including ex-post facto approval of treatment in cases wherein the pensioner has taken treatment without the approval of the ESIC authority assigned to provide such approval
4. OPT facility: Pensioners aged 75 years and above are allowed direct consultation with specialists of ESIC empanelled hospitals without a referral from ESIC authority on cashless basis
5. Appointment of ESIC regional director as Nodal Officer for coordinating ESIC PMS for the concerned regions
6. Issuance of pensioner medical cards for settlement of claims along with individual PMS identity cards for pensioner, spouse, and other applicable beneficiaries
7. Provision to tie-up with private hospitals, etc.
8. A few other provisions as per existing ESIC-PMS to continue like, contribution process, entitlement of wards, family definition, appointment of AMA(s), meaning of recognized hospital, reimbursement of emergency claims, medical advance, prescribed period for claim settlement & travelling allowance.
The above changes would ensure benefits to ESIC pensioners are at par with the Central Government health scheme. This is a welcome move to ensure the right old age benefits reach the pensioners.
