Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has released a new facility for its account holders. Under this, EPFO has started the facility of e-nomination for its members. With this, now the account holders will be able to change their nominee online.
Before the release of this new facility of EPFO, account holders used to go to the employer and register the details of the nominee. Because of this the whole process took a lot of time. At the same time, now EPFO has issued instructions to all the regional provident fund offices to adopt the online system. For this, Regional Provident Fund Office campaign is also being run to make PF members aware.
In the order of this online campaign of EPFO, now the PF subscribers have been given full right to change the nominee. For this, now the members will not need to take NOC from the employer. Members themselves will be able to upload the details of their family members in the PF account. However, this facility will be available to only those account holders whose Universal Account Number (UAN) along with Aadhaar card has been uploaded.
After getting this right from EPFO, the nominee will not have to run in case of untimely death of any PF member. As soon as the death certificate of the PF member is attached, the process of his final dues will start. This facility can be done on the website of EPFO. In this, members can complete this process by going to their login. For this, the member has to provide the nominee’s photo, Aadhar card, bank account number, address and IFSC code.
