Suppose a person, while joining an establishment, has nominated his mother to be the nominee. But after a while, he got married and now wants to nominate his wife as a nominee.
Another query is, can a person nominate his/her brother/sister as a nominee? (Keeping in mind that his/her siblings are salaried persons)

Nomination rules as per EPF office
There is a common form for all three schemes: Form 2 (R). The nominations in the case of the EPF Scheme are also applicable for the EDLI Scheme. A member having a family can nominate one or more family members as defined under Para 2 (f) of the EPF Scheme, 1952.
"Member not having any family member as defined in the said Para can nominate any other person, but the nomination will become invalid in case of the member acquiring a family."
Section 2(f) EPF Act 1952
(g) “Family” means—
(i) In the case of a male member, his wife, his children, whether married or unmarried, his dependent parents, and his deceased son’s widow and children: Provided that if a member proves that his wife has ceased, under the personal law governing him or the customary law of the community to which the spouses belong, to be entitled to maintenance, she shall no longer be deemed to be a part of the member’s family for the purpose of this Scheme, unless the member subsequently intimates by express notice in writing to the Commissioner that she shall continue to be so regarded; and
(ii) In the case of a female member, her husband, her children, whether married or unmarried, her dependent parents, her husband’s dependent parents, and her deceased son’s widow and children: Provided that if a member by notice in writing to the Commissioner expresses her desire to exclude her husband from the family, the husband and his dependent parents shall no longer be deemed to be a part of the member’s family for the purpose of this Scheme, unless the member subsequently cancels in writing any such notice.
Plain reading of the section will answer your query. He can nominate any member of his family until he acquires his/her own family.
