If your son was unmarried than he would have nominated someone while filling the PF forms as the nominee in that case the PF shall be received by the person so nominated. It shall be parents if he was unmarried. After marriage as per PF act the beneficiary is automatically the wife of your son.
while purchasing the ICICI bonds if your son nomimanated someone than the nominee shall get the payment.

why experts reply stating its a repeated Query this make them earn 3 points is it so? Why dont you abstain from answering if its repeated. Many times reason for posting the query again is that the querist is not satisfied by the replies by experts and these days there is a tendency among experts - one of them answers in one line (3 points) and others just put a one liner (I agree) 3 points again. Its the quality of reply that matters.
If its a repeated query then any other new one will reply. A one liner is not what is expected from a expert that dont solve the query this one liner can be guessed and replied by any layman from his common knowledge. The quality of experts in this site is poor and just involve in replying to each and every query though they have knowledge about it or not. Just gain points.
Others just gain points by answering "I Agree with ......" (3 points) shameful isnt it. Some experts if you see there scores more than 2000 points but if you see the history of their replies its nothing more than 'I Agree".
