Hi Pranita,
Employee's deposit linked Insurance scheme is a plan where the employer contribute 0.5% of basic of employees.. It generally been done of all the employees covered under Provident Fund...
The benefit of this scheme is that if any member dies while in service, an amount equal to the average balance in his provident fund account during the period of his membership is been paid to eligible member of his family. Except where the average balance exceeds Rs. 35000/- the amount payable shall be Rs. 35,000/- and 25% of the amount. But the maximum ceiling of amount to be paid can't exceed Rs. 60,000/-.
Yes, employer has to pay .18% of the basic pay as Inspection charges, whereas 1.10 % of the employees wages as Administrative charges of Provident Fund and 0.01% of the employees wages for administration of Deposit linked Insurance Fund..
These are the extra charges that employer has to pay except 12%.
If the employee is still a member of the Fund then definitely employer have to pay the same amount for the administration of their accounts too.
Hope now it will be very much clear with you..
