How to File EPF Nomination Online: Eligibility and Step-by-Step Guide

If a member has no family at the time of nomination, they can name any person or persons. If they later acquire a family – through marriage or having children – that earlier nomination becomes invalid. The member must then file a fresh nomination in favour of one or more family members, as per Para 61(4) of the EPF Scheme.

For unmarried members or those without a living spouse or eligible child, the EPS, 1995 allows a nomination in favour of any person. That means an unmarried member can nominate a sibling for both PF and pension benefits.

For those who prefer paper, the offline route requires filling and submitting Form No. 2 to the EPFO office. That form covers family and nomination details for EPF, EPS, and the Employee's Deposit Link Insurance (EDLI).
