How to change nominee in NPS online?

September 18, 2020by Basavaraj Tonagatti

As of now, to change your nominee in the NPS account, you have to submit the S2 form physically to the associated Nodal Offices or POPs. To avoid such hindrance, PFRDA launched the facility to change nominee in NPS online. Let us see the process of changing the nominee in NPS online.

change nominee in NPS online and NPS Nomination Rules

NPS Nomination Rules:-

Before proceeding further let us first understand the nominee rules of NPS.

The nominee or nominees under NPS shall be entitled, on the death of the subscriber, to receive, to the exclusion of all other persons, all such money which have so remained unpaid.

a. If a subscriber has a family at the time of making a nomination, the nomination shall be in favor of one or more persons belonging to his family. Any nomination made by such subscriber in favor of a person not belonging to his family shall be invalid.

b. A fresh nomination shall be made by the subscriber on his marriage and any nomination made before such marriage shall be deemed to be invalid

c. If at the time of making a nomination the subscriber has no family, the nomination may be in favor of any person or persons but if the subscriber subsequently acquires a family, such nomination shall forthwith be deemed to be invalid and the subscriber shall make a fresh nomination in favor of one or more persons belonging to his family;

d. Family in relation to a male subscriber, means his legally wedded wife, his children, whether married or unmarried, his dependent parents and his deceased son’s widow and children

e. Family in relation to a female subscriber, means her legally wedded husband, her children, whether married or unmarried, her dependent parents, her husband’s dependent parents and her deceased son’s widow and children

f. In either of the above two cases (d & e), if the child of a subscriber [or as the case may be, the child of a deceased son of the subscriber] has been adopted by another person and if, under the personal law of the adopter, adoption is legally recognized, such a child shall be considered as excluded from the family of the subscriber.

g. If the nomination is wholly or partly in favor of a minor, the subscriber may appoint a major person of his family, to be the guardian of the minor nominee in the event of the subscriber predeceasing the nominee. If there is no major person in the family, the subscriber may, at his discretion, appoint any other person to be a guardian of the minor nominee.

h. A nomination made under the NPS may at any time be modified by a subscriber. If a subscriber by notice in writing to the designated intermediary for the purpose expresses her desire to exclude her husband from the family, the husband and his dependent parents shall no longer be deemed to be a part of the subscriber’s family for the purpose of this Scheme, unless the subscriber subsequently cancels in writing any such notice.

Let us now see the process to change nominee in NPS online. This is also called as E-Nomination process.

Step 1. Subscribers access their respective CRA systems with login credentials and select the option ‘Update Personal Details’ under the ‘Demographic changes’ menu.

Step 2. On selection, the subscriber modification screen will appear with multiple options, Subscriber is required to select the option ‘Add/Update Nominee details’ and then ‘Tier type’ for which nomination details have to be updated.

Step 3. The subscriber is required to submit the details online such as the name of the nominee, relationship with the nominee, percentage share etc. and save the details by clicking on the ‘Save’ menu.

Step 4. Once the details are saved and confirmed, the subscriber is required to submit the ’One Time Password (OTP)’ received on Registered Mobile Number.

Step 5. On submission of OTP, subscriber is required to e-Sign to authenticate the changes by selecting option ’e-sign and download’.

    I am a government employee and tried changing the nominee. After doing all the procedure, my details were saved and I was provided an option to eSign and download. I did download the same. But it has been more than a month since that day but the nominee hasn’t been changed. At NPS site, it shows ‘pending for authorisation’. Do I need to send the eSigned copy to the Nodal Office now through my employer?

      Dear Solomon,
      You have to use the NSDL login to update it. If the option is still not available, then wait for a day or two. Because this notification is recently released. Regarding your portfolio, why not you opted equity?
