Key Questions Answered
To do e-nomination, log into the EPFO member portal using your UAN and password, go to the Manage option, and select E-Nomination. Verify your personal details, add eligible family members along with their required information and share percentages, and complete the process using the Aadhaar-based e-sign OTP authentication.
Under EPFO rules, if you do not have a family, you can nominate another person, but getting married or forming a family makes that old nomination invalid. Therefore, married members must update their family details to list their spouse and children.
Simply providing nominee details on the portal is not enough to complete the e-nomination process. You must perform the Aadhaar-based e-sign using an OTP sent to your linked mobile number; otherwise, the nomination may be considered incomplete.
