EPFO Nomination Process and Eligibility for Employees' Provident Fund Accounts Explained
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) manages India's provident fund and pension schemes through joint employer-employee contributions, offering tax benefits under Section 80C for employee contributions up to ₹1.5 lakh annually. Members can nominate beneficiaries by submitting Form No 2 or via an e-nomination process available to Aadhaar-verified UAN holders. Nomination rules vary by marital status; unmarried members may nominate non-family persons, but such nominations become invalid if a family is later acquired. In absence of a nominee, funds are paid to eligible family members or others as per EPF regulations.
