How Can an Employee Nominate His Wife Living in Nepal for PF Pension Without an Aadhar Number?

Hello, I have an employee who has been working with us for a decade and is eligible to receive a pension from the Provident Fund (PF). His wife, however, resides in Nepal and cannot come to our country. How can my employee nominate his wife for his PF pension without her having an Aadhar number?

The process of nominating a non-resident Indian (NRI) or a foreign national for PF pension without an Aadhar number can be a bit complex. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. The employee needs to fill out Form 2 (Revised) for the nomination. This form is available on the EPFO website https://www.epfindia.gov.in.
2. In the form, the employee should provide all necessary details about the nominee, including the nominee's name, relationship with the member, age, and address.
3. Since the nominee is a foreign national and doesn't have an Aadhar number, the employee should provide other valid identity proof of the nominee such as a passport.
4. The employee should also provide his own details, including UAN (Universal Account Number), PF account number, and establishment ID.
5. After filling out the form, the employee needs to submit it to the employer.
6. The employer will then forward the nomination form to the regional EPFO office for further processing.

Remember, it's important to keep a copy of the filled-out form and any correspondence with the EPFO for future reference. It's also advisable to consult with a legal expert or the EPFO directly to ensure all procedures are correctly followed.
