Hi, I am an NRI and my father recently passed away while he was working in a public sector/ financial services in India. He made me nominee for his PF and gratuity. I was filling the paperwork sent by his employer and PF application had an indemnity bond stating that "I indemnify employer against all claims, costs, charges, damages and demands which may be raised against me as a consequence of their having paid the PF amount to me".
Now my question is that I don't know financial details of my father. As a kid, I knew he used to have lot of credit card debts. Do I become responsible for his debt by accepting to being nominee on his PF?
Another thing is that this Indemnity document has to be stamped. How do NRI's do that outside of India? Do consulate stamp papers?
Thanks!
