Is It Still Necessary to Manually Fill PF and Gratuity Forms Despite Online Options?

Dear all,

One small query: Isn't filling PF and Gratuity forms now mandatory, even though the process has now become online? Please clarify.

Dear Friend,

1. PF is an online process for withdrawal, advance, name change, and seeding Aadhar card.
2. Gratuity is still in an offline process.

Thank you.

Despite online filing, the employer has to keep Form 11 duly filled and signed by the employer with self-attested KYC documents for their records for future reference (EPF). Gratuity forms are offline, and the employer has to retain an office copy.

Thanks for the revert. I need another clarification. Please help.

Clarification on Gratuity Form F Nomination Clauses

I never noticed before, but for Gratuity Form F nomination, the below-mentioned clauses are there. What do these actually mean?

4. (a) My Father/Mother/Parents is/are not dependent on me.
(b) My husband’s/father/mother/parents is/are not dependent on my husband.

5. I have excluded my husband from my family by a notice dated the … to the controlling authority in terms of the provision to clause (h) of section 2 of the said Act.

Somebody please help me understand. Does this mean I can't have my parents, husband, or in-laws as my nominees?

Awaiting a response, please.

Thank you very much, Mr. Sharma. In that case, is Form F the right form to use for taking nomination details for gratuity, or do we have another form? Please advise.
