My friend is a pensioner under the EPS Scheme 1995. He retired on 15.06.2008. He had nominated his wife to receive the Return of Capital of Rs. 1,65,200. Unfortunately, his wife passed away a few years back. After the pensioner's death, who can claim the Return of Capital (ROC)? Can he nominate his son, daughter, or grandchildren now as the nominee to receive the ROC?
