Changing Your PF Nominee Name: Is It Possible and How Do You Do It?

Can anyone help me to let me know if I want to change my PF nominee name, is it possible? What should I do for that?

Sure, I can help you with that. To change the name of your PF nominee, you typically need to submit a request to your HR department or the relevant authority handling your PF account. They will guide you on the necessary steps and documentation required to update the nominee details. It's important to ensure the accuracy of the information provided to avoid any potential issues in the future. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Yes, you can change the name of the nominee in the PF by taking a fresh nomination on Form 2 of PF (Nomination & Declaration form) and Form F (Nomination) for Gratuity. You may check with your employer, and they would help you fill the form.

It may happen that while becoming a member of PF for the first time, a person opts for other individuals as their nominee. Once they get married, they may want to change the nominee. For that, they have to submit Form 2 (revised). As an HR person, you should ensure that every employee has filled in Form 2 and nominated their spouse and children. Any changes in the family due to childbirth should also be communicated with the due submission of Form 2.

With regards,

Kindly fill out Form 2 and submit it to the PF Office for nomination changes. The online process will not change; however, the form still needs to be submitted to the PF Office. The online process is expected to be implemented in the next couple of months for updating.
