Main view to providing additional social security to the family of a member of the provident fund who dies in harness and also as a positive incentive to the members while in service to save more, the employees provident fund and family pension fund act 1952 was amended thereby the title of the act was substituted as Employees provident fund and miscellaneous provision act 1952 and thus framed a scheme to be called the Employees deposit linked insurance scheme 1976. The objective of the scheme is to provide an insurance cover to the members of the provident fund in covered establishment linking the cover to the deposits in the provident fund of the deceased member. The employees deposit linked insurance scheme 1976 came in to force from 1/8/1976.

The Employees deposit linked insurance scheme is applicable to the employees of all the factories or establishments to which the employees provident funds and miscellaneous provision act 1952 applies.
