Hi,
In case a employee commit suicide his /her nominee is eligible for EDLI and other benefits provided the employee fulfil the following criteria and he/she should have been in service till death date.
"The benefit payable under paragraph 22(3) of EDLI scheme shall be extended to such beneficiaries where the deceased employee was a member of the fund or a provident fund exempted under section 17 of the EPF & MP Act and was in employment for a continuous period of 12 months preceding the month in which he died, irrespective of change of establishment during the said period."
