Many of us not aware the importance of EPF Nomination. If you not took it seriously, then better to understand the EPF Nomination rules at first. Then check nomination details and if changes required, then better to do the changes as and when it is required.
EPF Nomination Rules
What are the EPF Nomination rules? How often can we change the nominee? Let us understand these basics in detail.
# Your all EPF accounts must have the nomination. This makes easy fund transfer in case of your sudden demise.
# You can nominate more than one nominee and also fix the % of sharing among all such nominees.
# You must always nominate someone who can be considered as a family member. A non-family nominee is not valid.
# If you have no family, then you can nominate someone. However, once the member has a family the nomination should be transferred to the family member.
# If you nominated someone before marriage, then post marriage you have to update your spouse as a nominee. If you do not update then the nominations made before the marriage will be considered invalid. It is necessary to file new nominations, post marriage.
# In case a minor is a nominee, the guardian should be the family member. However, if there is no family member to become a guardian, then the employee can appoint a guardian from outside family.
# If there is no nomination the EPF amount would be equally distributed among family members. The sons who have attained maturity, sons of a deceased son who have attained maturity, married daughters whose husbands are alive and married daughters of a deceased son whose husbands are alive are not considered for such distribution.
# You can change the nomination as many times as you wish.
Rights of the nominee in EPF
What are the rights of the nominee in EPF? Whether the nominee will be the natural owner of the fund after the death of an employee? The answer is NO.
Nominee here acts just like a trustee. He has the rights to receive the EPF funds of the deceased employee. However, he has no rights to claim the ownership of the fund. The EPF fund should be then distributed to legal heirs of the employee as per the legal heir’s law.
This is the reason it is always best that EPF nomination should be your legal heir itself. Otherwise, you will create a legal tussle with your family in your absence.
How to check EPF Nomination details online?
Using the EPFO Unified portal, you can check the EPF Nomination details online. The process is simple.
# Login to Unified Portal.
# Under Manage Tab, you have to select the option e-Nomination.
# Once you click there, then you will find the nomination details linked to EPF accounts.
How to update or change EPF Nomination online?
# Visit Unified Portal. Login with your user credentials.
# Under “Manage” menu, you have to select “E-Nomination” option.
# Your details like UAN, Name, Date of Birth, gender etc., will be displayed. Here you have to provide your ‘Permanent Address’ details in the relevant field and click on Save button.
# Provide ‘yes’ to update Family Declaration. Then you will be asked to provide ‘Add Family Member(s)’ details. You have to provide details of your family members like their names, date of birth, relation and Address.
# Now you have to nominate your family members for your EPF account. You may declare the total amount of share (%) among your nominees. In case, you would like to nominate only one member of your family as your nominee then you can declare 100% as the share.
# Then click on ‘Save EPF Nomination’ button.
# Now you have to approve your e-Nomination form through Aadhaar e-Sign (Sign is an online electronic signature service in India to facilitate an Aadhaar holder to digitally sign a document. The signature service is facilitated by authenticating the Aadhar holder via the Aadhar–based e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) service.) facility. Click on e-Sign button to generate OTP, which will be sent to your mobile number that is linked to your Aadhaar. Then enter the OTP, which you have received in your mobile phone. That’s it. You have completed the process of e-Nomination. You no need to send any physical document to your employer or ex-employer.
# However, if your Aadhaar is not linked to EPF, then you will get an error message as “AADHAAR authentication failed. Details available against this UAN are not matching with details available with UIDAI.” (Refer the post on how to link Aadhaar with EPF “How to link Aadhaar to EPF using online and offline?“.
Hope this much information is enough for all employees to know about the importance of EPF Nomination and how one can update it online.

Dear Melita,
I think it will accept mother as a nominee. If not, then raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Thank you.
Can a female EPFO member appoint nominee as her husband currently this option is not available. Is it missed out or legally she cannot nominate her husband(spouse).
Please reply.
Dear Sunil,
Yes, one can update their spouse as the nominee.
I just have a doubt that what is Total amount of share (%)
in epf nominee how much should i update
Dear Smitha,
% allocation is left with you.
how many nominees should I mention?
Dear Sagar,
There is no such limitation.
I have recently joined new company on 01.06.19 and i want to transfer PF of my old company to new company. I tried to transfer but system is not allowing.
Please tell me is there any time boundation for transfer of PF i.e from date of new joining.
While filling e-nomination, system is asking bank details. All six banks which are mentioned in them nominee has no account. Can we put there joint account detail i.e joint account of pf holder and nominee.
Sir

Sir
After successfully esigned enomination in pf, pdf shows that signature not verified. why?
Dear Jayesh,
At EPFO it is pending.
You need to modify e signing portion. Nowadays, it requires a virtual ID to be generated and submitted for e-signing. I am unable to do, as there is no guidance on Internet so far
Dear Sivasankaran,
Thanks for your updates.
Hi,
While doing E-Nomination on UAN Portal, after filling Family Details (Name, Relation, Address, Photo) and while pressing “Save Family Details” it is giving me error –
“Error while saving family details. Please try after some time. ”
I tries multiple time in few weeks, still same error.
Can someone please help??
Dear Rohi,
Change the browser, it may work.
I got the same error. Tried mozilla and chrome. Are you able to resolve the issue, Rohi?
I got the error while entering relationship as “Dependent Mother”. Then I changed it to “Mother” and it worked.
I have added my family details as nominee and saved the epf nominations too, but still no any e-sign tab is showing on the dashboard. kindly tell me when i will be able to approve my nominee when i have already saved the details of the same.
Dear Nagmani,
It seems there is an issue with the portal. Better to try after few days.
It’s Ok, But Is there any other path/procedure to upload epf nominee details then kindly suggest me.
Dear Nagmani,
Sadly NO.
While registering through esign method it’s asking for Virtual ID which was generated through aadhar website. Even then it gives an error ‘Error 1010: Error while registering esign’
Dear Chetan,
It may be a certain technical glitch. Try after some time.
Hello Basav,
What is error 1010? Why am I getting it during e-sign?
Dear Sivasankaran,
Hard to say. Better you raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell online.
Even after completing AADHAR linking with EPF same message display in EPF portal.

Hi,
My father has epf account and from the starting of pension he was deducting of its pensionable money for my mother. Unfortunately, my mother expired in 2014 and recently I came to know about the pension money which is still deducting in the name of my mother.
1) Please let me know how can my father claim all that money which has been deducted in my mother’s name.
2) My father is enrolled in PATNA.
Waiting for your kind suggestions and comments.
Thanks,
Rupesh
Dear Rupesh,
It is best to approach the regional EPFO to sort out the issues.
Sir my dad was dead before 11 month and his working in private company how do I get copy of nominee name sir . It’s I. My mother name but I need full details of this and copy of nominee name and family details also
Dear Prashanth,
Approach the regional EPFO or his employer.
I have a query.Though I am married,I want to keep my parents as nominee of PF account.If I change my marital status to ” Married”,can I still add my parents only in e-nomination?
Dear Ravi,
NO.
Dear Basavaraj,
Is there any way in e-nomination to nominate someone else other than my wife?
Dear Ravi,
Even if you nominate someone else, then by default your wife will be the first legal heir and nominees just act as trustee to transfer money (except LIFE INSURANCE).
Sir e nomination is saved but tha nomination is gender is mistaked how can change that gender
Dear Sampath,
You can change it online itself. If you can’t then do the same through employer.
During e nomination lastli on clicking esign meesage ” esign upgradation under process” is notified and the nomination is still pending.Please advise
Dear Vijaykumar,
It is a procedural matter and hence raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Dear Basavaraj.
While updating nomination details under e-Nomination option, you have elsewhere advised first providing address and to SAVE, before we see the screen for updating family details.
While trying to save address, it shows ” Marital status Not Provided.
Marital Status must be available”.
Please advise
Dear Alok,
Yes, first you have to update your marital status (if it is not possible to update online, then update the same through your employer).
