To ensure social security for their families and nominees, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) announced in March 2022 the e-nomination process for Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) account holders. EPSFO’s official website at epfindia.gov.in allows members to submit their e-nominations online via Universal Account Number (UAN).
The EPFO e-nomination process requires only self-declaration. Neither physical documents nor approvals are required while filing or revising the nomination. In fact, necessary changes can be made directly through the EPFO website.
No deadline has been set for e-nominations and advance claims are not mandatory.
Purpose
It is necessary to file EPFO e-nomination to check Provident Fund (PF) account balance, pension (EPS), and Employees’ Deposit-Linked Insurance Scheme (EDLI) up to Rs 7,00,000 for qualified family members. Nominees can also settle claims online, in a paperless and faster way.
