Understanding PF Claim Process for Government Employees without Nominee Details - CiteHR

I am Lokesh. My mother-in-law was working in the State Government, and she passed away. When we applied for the PF claim, it was rejected by the PF office, stating that there is no nominee mentioned by the employer.

Process to Claim PF Without a Nominee

In this case, what is the process to claim the PF? Is there any possibility for the employer to pay the PF contribution without nominee details to the PF office when the employee is newly joining the organization?

If she was a government employee, they must have taken nomination details from her. It is mandatory. Even if she did not provide one, logically and legally her children will be eligible to receive the amount, subject to providing all necessary evidence.

You can inquire with the relevant authority at her office. They should be able to provide you with a solution as the process may differ from that of a private limited company.
