E-nomination is mandatory
EPFO is giving the facility of e-nomination to its subscribers to inform the nominee information, after which online information like name of the nominee, date of birth will be updated. EPFO has told its subscribers that the EPF account holder should do e-nomination (EPF / EPS Nomination). By doing this, it helps the nominee / family members to withdraw money related to PF, Pension (EPS) and Insurance (EDLI) in case of death of the account holder. With this, the nominee can easily claim online.
