One of the most overlooked but critical aspects of your EPF account is nominating the right person to receive your funds in case of your demise. With EPFO mandating the process to be done online through the UAN portal, here’s everything you need to know to file, edit, or validate your EPF e-nomination.


Why e-Nomination Matters


Step 0: Mandatory KYC and Profile Checks Before You Start

Before you attempt filing the e-nomination, ensure that your UAN account is KYC-compliant. The following must be correctly updated:



If any of these are incorrect, update them through your employer or raise a joint declaration before proceeding.


Who Can Be Nominated?


Checklist Before Filing (EPFO Rulebook)


EPFO advises members to nominate all eligible family members and specify share (%) for each.


Step-by-Step Process to File e-Nomination


Step 1: Log in to the EPFO Member Portal

Step 2: Navigate to ‘e-Nomination’

Note: If your KYC like Aadhaar, DOB, and Gender is incomplete or mismatched, the nomination screen won’t load. You will have to update these details through your employer before proceeding.


Step 3: Click ‘Proceed’

If your basic KYC is correct, you’ll be shown your profile screen (with photo and basic details).

Click ‘Proceed’ to continue with e-Nomination.


Step 4: Declare Your Family Status

You’ll be asked:

\"Do you have a family?\"

Click:

Step 5: Add Family Member Details

Enter each family member's:

Click ‘Add Row’ to include multiple members.


Step 6: Save Family Details

After entering details for all nominees, click ‘Save Family Details’.

You’ll now be redirected to assign nominee shares.


Step 7: Set EPF Nominee Share

Now you’ll assign what % of your EPF balance goes to each family member.

For example:

Total should be exactly 100%

Now, File Your EPS Nomination

This step is mandatory and often missed.

After completing your EPF nomination, you must now submit nomination for your EPS (Employees' Pension Scheme).

Follow the same process again:


Step 8: Add Family Members

Re-enter details for each family member:

Click ‘Add Row’ to include multiple members.


Step 9: Save Family Details

Click ‘Save Family Details’ to move to the share allocation screen.


Step 10: Set EPS Nominee Share

Assign what percentage of your EPS corpus goes to each nominee.

Make sure the total adds up to 100%.


Step 11: Save EPS Nomination

Click ‘Save EPS Nomination’ to save the draft.

✅ Done! You can now proceed to e-Sign this nomination as well to complete the process.


Step 12: Confirm Nomination

After assigning the nominee share, click ‘Save EPF/EPS Nomination’.

Your entry is saved as a draft. Now you need to e-Sign to validate.

Step 13: Click on e-Sign

Click the e-Sign button. You’ll be redirected to the Aadhaar authentication screen.

You’ll be given two options:

Step 14: Enter Aadhaar or VID

Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number or 16-digit VID, and proceed.

Step 15: Verify via OTP

You’ll receive an OTP on your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.

Enter the OTP to verify. If it matches, your nomination details will be digitally signed.

Step 16: Confirmation

You’ll get a confirmation message on the screen that your e-nomination has been successfully recorded.

You can now view, download, or update your e-nomination any time by revisiting the same portal.
