EPFO: How to file nomination for your provident fund account online? Who can be nominee? Check steps here…
Mint 1 hr ago·22 Sept 2026, 4:03 pm
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) recently updated its rules to make it easier for members to designate nominees for their retirement savings. This change is significant because, without a valid nomination, the process of distributing the accumulated corpus to legal heirs can become legally complex and time-consuming. By formally appointing a nominee, investors ensure a smoother and faster settlement of their funds in the event of their demise.
To file a nomination, members can now use the 'e-nomination' facility on the EPFO portal or the UAN member portal. The process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few clicks. It is important to note that a nominee is not necessarily a beneficiary, as the fund is legally the property of the member, but the nomination simplifies the transfer of ownership to the chosen individual.
