Recently, my brother died in an accident. At that time, he was working in a private organization. The employer mentioned his last working day as 12th July (Friday), but the incident happened on 14th July (Sunday). Saturdays and Sundays are days off. Will it impact benefits like pensions for my parents? What benefits will be provided by the EPF to my parents as the nominee?

Since the date of exit from PF is two days before the death, you will have to do a lot of paperwork to get a pension. The nominee will get a pension, EPF accumulation, and EDLI. However, the employer has either purposefully or due to oversight made a mistake by showing the last working day as 12th July. The employer should have put the date of death as the exit date. By putting a date two days earlier, it will be presumed that he had left the company. Due to this, the legal representatives will not receive the EDLI amount, which would amount to around Rs 6 lakhs depending on his service. You may please contact the employer and also the EPF Office to try to correct the date of exit first and then start processing the pension papers. Other than EDLI, in any case, he will be eligible to get a pension and PF.
