Hi,
In case an employee commits suicide, his/her nominee is eligible for EDLI and other benefits provided the employee fulfills the following criteria, and he/she should have been in service until the date of death.
"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 the change of establishment during the said period."
