EPFO member alert: Your nominee may lose provident fund, pension, other benefits if you make this little mistake

A lot of Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) subscribers might think that their e-nomination process is all set just because they filled out the online form. However, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has made it clear that an e-nomination is not valid unless it is e-signed by the EPFO member. If you have submitted your EPF nomination form but have missed e-signing it using your Aadhaar authentication, it won’t be processed if something happens to you.

The e-nomination facility is an important step that helps family members and dependents receive EPF, Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS), and Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) benefits without unnecessary delays. Here's what EPF members need to know.

In a social media post on X (formerly known as Twitter), the EPFO posted: “Have you also made this big mistake? E-nomination is not valid without e-sign. Complete your e-nomination with e-sign today.”
