EPFO e-service Portal: Most of the work related to Provident Fund is now being done online. Whether advance money of PF or full and final settlement is to be done or death claim on the death of the employee, all the facilities will be available sitting at home.



EPFO e-service Portal: Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) is continuously easing its rules. For the first several days, the claims were settled after visiting the EPFO ​​office. One had to wait for hours for the files to proceed and for the final approval for the claim. But, gradually everything went online. However, there are still many such works, which have to be completed by going to the office. Nevertheless, in the Digital India program, Provident Fund account holders are getting many facilities.

Nominee is required

EPFO has started the e-nomination process to facilitate the account holders sitting at home. Through this service, a member can nominate his family member on the online portal. At the same time, on the death of the nominee, the nominee can take advantage of the Provident Fund, Pension (EPS-Pension) and EDLI Insurance Scheme by filling the e-nomination sitting at home. According to EPFO ​​Provident Fund Commissioner-2 Sushant Kandwal, every member of Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme (EPF) and Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS) is required to fill a nomination.

Benefits of EPF, EPS, Insurance

Nomination has been made much easier than before. In the nomination, family members such as parents, spouse, siblings or any other eligible member of the family are included. Having the name and details of the nominee makes it easy to take provident fund money (PF), pension money (EPS fund) or EDLI insurance money in case of death of the employee. Let us tell you, there is a maximum limit of up to Rs 7 lakh in insurance available from EPFO.


Pension and death claim will be settled after e-nomination

According to Kandpal, for the first nomination, the employee had to fill Form-2 in hard copy and submit it to the EPFO ​​office. But, under the Digital India program, now the account holder member can file the e-nomination of the family member sitting at home on the e-Seva portal. E-nomination is a must for pension and death claim settlement. A circular has also been issued in this regard by EPFO. So far, out of 8.50 lakh provident fund accounts, only 28 thousand account holders have done e-nomination.
