In a bid to make updating nominee details easier, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) introduced the e-nomination facility for its members earlier this year.

The e-nomination helps in transferring the earnings and benefits of the EPF account holders to their dependents in case of the sudden demise of the account holder. It allows the nominee(s) such as the spouse, children and dependent parents to withdraw the accrued amount from EPF, Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS), and Employees’ Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme (EDLI).
While there is no last date for filing the e-nomination, EPFO is urging all its account holders to do it at the earliest for smooth access to social security in a convenient way without visiting their offices physically.
