Under a new set of rules for making e-nomination of your provident fund account, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has made it mandatory to submit Aadhaar card number of all your nominees.
“Aadhaar of all the family members in nomination is mandatory,” said a notification issued by the EPFO recently.
The EPFO has started a new e-nomination functionality on its website but to do that you not only need your EPF account to be linked to Aadhaar but also submit Aadhaar card number of your nominee/s.
Besides Aadhaar, it is also compulsory to submit scanned images of all your nominee/s and their date of birth and mobile number. There is also a provision to submit bank account details of the nominee but that is optional.

The e-nomination facility is available only for those whose UAN (Universal Account Number) is linked to Aadhaar.
The notification issued by Regional Provident Fund Commissioner V. Ranganath said some modifications have been made in order to make this functionality compatible with the pension claim form and nominee claim form.
