If you have not yet added your nominee in PF account, then this is important news for you. Almost all the employed people in the country have an account in the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPF), where some part of their salary is deposited every month.
Provident fund is very important for salaried people. Just as it is necessary to make a nominee for a bank account, in the same way it is necessary to make a nominee for the Employees’ Provident Fund account holders. It is mandatory for PF account holders to add their nominee so that in case of untimely death, this fund can be easily available to the nominee on time.
In such a situation, if you have not yet added your nominee in the PF account, then do this work quickly, because its deadline is ending by the end of this month. If you do not add a nominee to your PF account by December 31, then you may have to face many problems. EPFO has also issued a deadline for this.
Regarding this, EPFO had recently said that you must file your e-nomination to take advantage of provident fund, pension and insurance services.
