Provident Fund E-nomination: The subscribers must note that filing of e-nomination will ensure benefits for the dependents of the PF account holder in event of any mishap.

Provident Fund Latest Update: As just a few days left for the deadline to end, the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has once again urged its subscribers to complete e-nomination of their PF accounts by March 31. However, the EPFO also issued a warning that if the subscribers fail to do so, it will result in not being able to use certain facilities provided by the retirement body.

In a statement, the EPFO said it is critical for subscribers to register nominations to care for their spouse, children, and parents and to safeguard them through online PF, pension, and insurance.

The subscribers must note that filing of e-nomination will ensure benefits for the dependents of the PF account holder in event of any mishap. Once the nomination is done, the nominee will be able to receive benefits from the insurance and pension schemes if any eventuality happens to the account holder.
