Provident fund nomination rules require family-based nominations, specified shares, and fresh nomination after family status changes. Nomination under the provident fund rules allows an employee to designate one or more persons to receive the balance standing to credit on death by using Form No. 184. If more than one nominee is appointed, the employee must specify the share or amount payable to each. A valid nomination depends on family status: where the employee has a family, nomination must be in favour of family members; where no family exists, any person may be nominated, but the nomination becomes invalid if a family is later acquired and a fresh nomination is then required.
