This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,
One of our employee got expired during the employment. He had made his maternal aunt as a nominee. His father is alive. When we submitted his claim form for PF withdrawal through his aunt, the department has rejected it. The reason of rejection was given that only parents can claim the same. If both the parent are dead then a decree from the court will have to be submitted by the Aunty along with the form.
My question is what is the relevance of nomination form 2(r)? or is it mentioned somewhere in the act that only parents can claim the fund. even the member has nominated someone else.
Thank you
Sanjesh

You may rather study the rules for Nomination mentioned in the Act, definition of family......................etc.
What is the opinion of your own HR and Legal cell?
