EPFO members can update nominee details online through the UAN portal after changes in family circumstances such as marriage or the birth of a child. The nominee’s personal information can be entered through the portal, along with the percentage share to be assigned from the PF amount. The process can be completed online using a mobile phone or computer.
Keeping nominee information updated in an EPFO account can help avoid potential difficulties during future PF claims. Family circumstances may change during an employee’s service, including marriage, the birth of children or other changes. If outdated nominee details remain linked to the PF account, family members may face difficulties during the claim process.
Members can periodically check their nominee information and revise the details when there is a change in family status. The nominee update process can be completed online without visiting an EPFO office.
Members must first visit the EPFO official portal and log in using their UAN and password. The registered member can use a browser on a mobile phone or computer. Captcha details must also be entered during login.
After logging in, members need to open the Manage section on the dashboard and select E-NOMINATION. The portal will then provide options to enter family and nominee details.
If the portal displays the question Having Family?, the appropriate option should be selected according to the member’s family details. The required nominee information can then be entered, including the nominee’s name, Aadhaar number, date of birth and relationship with the member.
The relationship section includes categories such as Wife, Son, Daughter and Dependent Mother/Father. The relevant category can be selected, followed by entry of the nominee’s address.
After entering the nominee details, the portal provides an option to upload a photograph through Click Here To Upload Photograph.
Members who want to nominate more than one person can use the Add Row option to enter additional nominee details. After entering all family and nominee information, the member needs to click Save Family Details.
The next step is to assign the nominee’s share of the PF amount. The member must enter the percentage in the Total amount of share section. If there is only one nominee, 100% can be entered against that nominee’s share.
When there are multiple nominees, the PF percentage share can be allocated among them. After entering the share details, the member needs to click Save EPF e-Nomination to complete the process.
Updating nominee information after changes in family circumstances allows EPFO members to keep their account details current. This can help avoid potential difficulties arising from outdated nominee information during future PF-related claims.
