Dear Experts, The EPS Nomination provides for children pension, widows pension and for widows pension - two columns. One for nominating a member's wife's name and another, in case the member's wife is pre-deceased, to provide for any other family member. Query: Can this nominee be any person including his mother/father. Query 2: Can an unmarried person also nominate a family member for this widow pension! Query 3: Now a days, Company's have pay cycle, usually by 20th of a month and if a person joins on 20th or thereafter, his pay is paid as part of the next month's pay roll - is it sufficient compliance for PF Act. Also if the new employee in such cases dies before the 1st EPS contribution is remitted, would his widow be entitled for the pension benefit. Thanks.

Since it is a complicated matter and
may involve vigilance angle also, beside creating litigation, as such I will advise to get this matter solved by approaching the concerned RPFC ( Pension ) who is the copetent authority, after going into facts of the case.
