New Delhi: Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has made it mandatory for all account holders to do e-nomination. If the account holders do not do this, then in any case on the death of the account holder, there is a big problem in claiming the deposit amount.
Many employees across the country deposit some part of their salary in their PF account as Provident Fund. This amount is very useful in retirement and sometimes in unwanted circumstances. The amount deposited by the employees in their PF account, in most cases the same amount is deposited by the employer organization in the account.
How to Check Your Passbook Balance
Many employees working in the private sector keep changing their organization from time to time, so their PF account number also keeps changing. In such a situation, they can see the total amount deposited in their PF account by logging in through UAN number.
You can easily access the passbook of your PF account by logging in with the UAN number.
E-nomination made mandatory
If you want to access your passbook by visiting the EPFO website, then you will have to first make an e-nomination for it. As soon as the passbook page is opened, a pop-up window for e-nomination appears on the website.
In this, if you do not file e-nomination, then this pop up window does not go away from the website page. Hence, it is now mandatory for the account holders to do e-nomination, otherwise they will not be able to access their passbook account.
