Provident fund Provident fund

6 years ago

Hi,
Recently my brother passed away, after getting his death certificate my sister in law has stated that she wants to claim his Provident fund. She mentioned that my brother has nominated her for the same and 100% in her name, but she requires a NOC from me and my father, which we have to sign in front of the district magistrate. Is this true that even though she is the only nominee entitled with 100% of the money she still would require a NOC from the immediate family members..

A.A.Every employee who joins the EPF Scheme is required to furnish a declaration and Nomination Form in Form 2 (Revised) to his employer for onward transmission to Regional Provident fund Commissioner concerned. This nomination form enables the member to give details of nominee for provident fund and list of family members and nominee for pension Scheme.
The nomination is considered as a very vital document for each PF member because in case of death of a provident Fund member,the Provident Fund balances are payable to the nominee in the first instance.
