Employees Deposit Linked Insurance is a mandatory insurance scheme for private sector employees who are enrolled in Employees’ Provident Fund.
The measures in ESIC and EPFO are welcome but they do not cover the unorganised sector workers who are the most vulnerable.
In case of death during active service, the family or nominee needs to fill form 5IF and submit it along with death certificate and few other document
This scheme covers all active members of EPFO. For availing the insurance cover, employees need not contribute any amount
