For members of the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) and Employees' Provident Fund (EPF), submitting an online nomination is a requirement in order to be eligible for welfare benefits. If an EPF member files an e-nomination, their family may be eligible for a variety of benefits.
These benefits range from completing online claim settlements upon a member's death, eligible nominees, and many more benefits, in addition to provident fund (PF), pension (EPS), and insurance (EDLI) benefits. Owners of EPFO accounts are allowed to online submit their EPS and EPF nominations instead of physically doing so.
