How to add a nominee to your PF account: Future financial security is crucial for working individuals. The monthly salary contribution to the Provident Fund (PF) provides a significant cushion during difficult times. The EPFO safeguards this money and provides interest on it. However, if you haven’t added a nominee to your PF account, you or your family could face difficulties later on. In many cases, withdrawing PF funds without a nominee becomes difficult. So, let’s learn how to add a nominee to your PF account.
Why is a nominee required in a PF account?
If an employee dies and there is no nominee registered in the account, the family may face significant difficulties in claiming the PF benefits. However, adding a nominee ensures that the PF funds reach the rightful recipient.

Step 1: First, visit the EPFO’s official member portal, unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface. Log in by entering your UAN number and password.
