Dear Avantika,
I am sorry to hear about the sad demise of your husband. You are entitled to the following from EPF:
1. EPF accumulation.
2. Pension for you & your child.
3. EDLI: Employee Deposit Linked Insurance.
There are prescribed forms for this. A search on this site will provide you with details of these and the documents required to be submitted along with the forms. You can obtain these forms from any EPF office along with an instruction sheet for filling them out. However, after filling out the forms, they must be routed through your employer. Your employer should definitely assist you in this process.
You will also receive gratuity from the employer.

Dear viewers and respected Ms. Avantika,
It's shocking that the HR of the company has not been fulfilling its HR duties while we are living in the 21st century, in a modified era.
Please provide the following required information for a full understanding of the case:
What is the final report you mentioned in your post? Please explain. What was the reason for his death? What is the name and address of the company?
You have lost your husband, but you have legal claims over dues and entitlements as listed below:
1. Unpaid salary, leave encashment, gratuity amount, death benevolent fund (only if the company has a scheme).
2. PF accumulation and interest thereon.
3. Pension for you for your lifetime and for your daughter until her marriage.
4. Approximately Rs. 75,000 as a one-time payment from EDLI/Group Term Insurance Scheme.
Benefits under clauses 2 and 3 above are fully admissible, and the PF authorities have to settle within a month's time legally.
For more details on obtaining other requested information, please provide further guidance.
Best wishes,

As the final report states, accidental death due to a fall from height. However, in the forensic report, it says head injury associated with ethyl intoxication.
I have submitted the postmortem report, FIR copy, medical report, and final FIR. Now, they say it's because of alcohol, so I will not receive the benefit amount. Regarding PF, I am entitled to receive only the pension, not the EDLI amount. Please explain.

Ms. Avantika,
Please correct me if I have any doubts:
1) If the final report is a police report, signed by the Superintendent of Police under whose jurisdiction the death occurred.
2) Was your husband on duty when he died, or what was he doing at that time? His duty hours were from ---- to ---- on what date?
3) Please provide the company's name and address. Also, if possible, share the HR manager's name and contact details.
4) Please ask your brother to obtain the accident report filed by the company with the Factory Inspector. If the accident occurred at the factory site, the company should have submitted written information to the Collector, SP, and the Police station. Copies of the letter and accident report can also be located.
