EPFO e-nomination filing: EPF Portal glitch still continues, PF subscribers flood twitter with anxious reactions

New Delhi: Although retirement fund body EPFO has now extended the deadline for filing of e-nomination from the previous date which was December 31, several PF Subscribers still continue to face glitches on EPF Portal.

EPFO recently Tweeted:

#EPF Members can file new nomination to change existing EPF/#EPS nomination.

ईपीएफ सदस्य मौजूदा ईपीएफ/ईपीएस नामांकन को बदलने के लिए नया नामांकन दाखिल कर सकते हैं।#EPFO #Services #Pension #ईपीएप #पीएफ #AmritMahotsav @AmritMahotsav pic.twitter.com/e2hdC9Jjgc

However, seveveral users have been complaining regarding error in e-nomination filing. Some said that despite trying for over two months now, they don't seem to add e-nomination due to the server glitch. Here are some twitter reactions from PF Subscribers.

Your Server is not Responding from last month, not able to verify the E-sign.
You are not able to manage your own Server how would you manage our Funds?

I have tried multiple times for e nomination since 2months. Every time it displays error like an error occurred. I don't know why the epfo team is not taking care of epfo sites. Please do something @nsitharaman

माननीय महोदय, जब तक आपकी epfo की website, under maintenance है, तब आप किसी भी श्रमिक को उसकी पास बुक देखने के लिए मना नही कर सकते, क्योंकि epfo की website चल ही नहीं रही, तो कोई श्रमिक अपना nomination और बाकी update कैसे करें, @socialepfo @arvind_ramsy @LabourMinistry @PMOIndia

Not able to update the E-nomination. Always getting error or network issues.
It's been a year and I couldn't take my PF money yet. Always rejecting for multiple reasons even there is valid proof. It's painful

EPFO had previously said that the name of the nominee mentioned in the latest PF nomination will be treated as final, whereas after fresh nomination by the account holder, the earlier nomination will be treated as cancelled, says the EPFO.
