EPFO member can change its EPF or PF account nominee by filing new PF nomination
To ensure social security of the family members of its subscribers, Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) gives Provident Fund (PF) nomination facility to all EPFO members. Now, an EPFO member can submit EPF, EPS nomination digitally by logging in at the EPFO website — epfindia.gov.in. However, an EPF account holder must remember that he or she can change its EPF or PF account nominee by filing new PF nomination. Now, an EPFO subscriber doesn’t need to ask from the EPFO to change its PF nominee. The PF account holder can do this on its own by filing new PF nomination.
EPFO informed about how to change EPF/PF nomination online from its official twitter handle citing, “#EPF Members can file new nomination to change existing EPF/#EPS nomination.” Name of the PF nominee mentioned in the latest PF nomination will be considered as final one whereas the earlier PF nomination will be considered cancelled by the PF account holder after fresh PF nomination.
