Navigating PF Pension Transfer: How Can I Claim My Late Husband's Benefits?

How to transfer my husband's PF pension to me after his passing?

EPF Pension Transfer

EPF pension amount can't be transferred from one person's account to another person's account.

Hi, In the case of the death of a PF Pensioner, the spouse can claim 50 percent of the pension. Please contact the PF Pension disbursing branch with the death certificate of the pensioner, a copy of the Aadhaar of the beneficiaries, bank account details (original cancelled cheque or attested copy of bank passbook) of the beneficiaries, and proof of age in the case of children.

Dear Srinivas, You cannot transfer the pension amount. For better understanding, please go through the information below.

Eligibility for Widow's Pension

If a member of EPFO dies, then his or her spouse will be eligible for a widow's pension. The pension will be paid to financially support the widow until his/her death or remarriage. If there is more than one widow, then the amount will be payable to the eldest widow.

Lump Sum Payment to Nominee

In the case of the death of a member during the service period, the nominee or legal heir of an active member of EPFO receives a lump sum payment of up to Rs. 7 lakh.

Hi Alok, I think the member wanted to know about the process of getting a widow's pension after the death of the PF pensioner.
