Pension payments are awarded to the employee's family in the event of his death while on the job. In this case, pensions for widows, children, and orphans are provided. Learn about the EPS-95 Scheme's pension regulations here.

A portion of your monthly pay must be placed into the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) if you work in the organized sector. Both the employer and the employee contribute to the employee's EPF account. This contribution equals 12–12% of the base pay plus DA. 3.67 percent of the employer's contribution is placed in the Employee Provident Fund (EPF), while 8.33 percent is placed in the Employees' Pension Scheme.

The employee is eligible to obtain a pension under the EPS95 program after completing ten years of service. However, the employee's family receives the pension benefit if he passes away while he is working. In this case, pensions for widows, children, and orphans are provided. Learn what is stated in the EPS 95 Scheme regulation here.

To whom does the pension accrue?

This employee's pension includes widow, child, and orphan benefits under the EPS-95 plan. The minimum employee's widowed spouse or widower husband may receive up to Rs 1000 under widow pension. The widow receives half of the pension in the event of the pensioner's death. When a kid is less than 25 years old, they are eligible for child pension. A quarter of the widow pension is paid in this case. Two youngsters may use this amenity at once. In the event that the children are orphans, they will get 75% of the pension up to the age of 25. Should the kid be physically impaired, he will get a lifetime pension of seventy-five percent.

These records are required.

A copy of the deceased's death certificate, the Aadhar card of the person receiving the pension, account information, a voided check or an attestation of the beneficiary's bank passbook are all necessary for an EPS pension. An age certificate for the recipient will also need to be provided if he is a minor.

You may also submit a claim for this sum.

The nominee, heir, or family of an employee who passes away while performing work-related duties may also be entitled to the insurance payout. Under the Employees Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme, the employee's family is eligible for an insurance payout up to Rs. 7 lakh, with a maximum benefit of Rs. 2.5 lakh. Every employee who is registered with EPFO is eligible to participate in this insurance program, which is managed by EPFO. The nominee will get a benefit of at least Rs 2.5 lakh upon the employee's death if the EPFO member has been employed consistently for a full year.
