EPFO has extended the deadline for e-nomination filing beyond December 31.

New Delhi: Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), on Wednesday (December 29), said that subscribers of the retirement fund body can complete the e-nomination even after December 31, 2021.

Earlier, several media reports had suggested that the last date to complete e-nomination was December 31. But EPFO has now extended the last date for the e-nomination service. 

Previously, EPFO had made it clear that the name of the nominee mentioned in the latest PF nomination will be treated as final. The organisation added that after a fresh nomination by the EPFO account holder, the earlier nomination will be treated as cancelled.
