Example 1
- Mr.
     A, whose Grade Pay is ₹4200, passed away on 05.01.2022.
 - The
     minimum balance in his Provident Fund (PF) account during the 36 months
     preceding January 2022 was ₹16,000.
 - Hence,
     the DLI (Deposit Linked Insurance) payment payable to the heir of Mr. A is
     ₹16,000.
 
Example 2
- Mr.
     B, whose Grade Pay is ₹1300, passed away on 05.01.2022.
 - The
     minimum balance in his PF account during the 36 months preceding January
     2022 was ₹5,900.
 - Since
     the minimum balance (₹5,900) is less than the required minimum of ₹6,000,
     the heir of Mr. B is not eligible for DLI payment.
 
Example 3
- Mr.
     C, whose Grade Pay is ₹4800, passed away on 05.01.2022.
 - The
     minimum balance in his PF account during the 36 months preceding January
     2022 was ₹72,000.
 - Therefore,
     the DLI payment payable to the heir of Mr. C is ₹60,000, which is the
     maximum amount admissible under the DLI Scheme.
