Filing of e-Nomination - Bharat Ka Amrut Mahotsav-Reg.
e-Nomination rules and process
With the introduction of e-Nomination, the onus of updating the nominee details lies on the employee.
The member is required to log-in to the member interface of the unified portal, upload the photograph, if not done so under the ‘View’ tab of the ‘Profile section’, and click on the ‘e-nomination’ button under the ‘Manage’ tab. The details of the nominee can then be provided and the system will seek a confirmation of whether the member has a family or not. If yes, the member should fill the details of family members. It should be noted that Aadhaar and photos of family members are mandatory to complete this section. Thereafter, one should click on ‘Save Family Details’ and proceed to select ‘EFP Nomination details’ and mention percentage share of EPF funds that the member wants to nominate against the family members’ name and save the update of the nomination.
Where an employee declares that he has no family, the system will directly take him to the EPF nominations section. EPF nomination is also valid for EPS nomination for members with family. In case there is no family (spouse/son/daughter), the system will direct the member to the EPS nomination section for details. The member is required to e-sign to complete the e-nomination process. E-sign can be done by generating a virtual ID (which is mandatory) by visiting the UIDAI official website.
Benefits of e-nomination
The objective of e-Nomination is to ensure a member to take the ownership of his EPF account and to keep it updated on a real-time basis. It will also help in actuarial valuation of the pension fund, reduce bureaucracy, corruption and help in the faster digitisation of important records, ultimately enhancing employee experience and the ease of doing business.
