My Niece Husband died of a sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 34 while in service. Please let me know what are the sums that she is eligible to claim from EPF Office. He was working as a senior Manager in a Manufacturing concern and was drawing appx 60K per month. They have no issues. She and her mother in law are the nominees with 50% sharing.
