You are not supposed to leave any cell blank in any form. If you leave it blank and sign the form, and later on someone fills the cell with his name, then you cannot challenge (or at least you will be dragged into an unnecessary legal battle) that you had left the cell blank and there was some illegal interference. Therefore, you may ask him to fill in the name of his immediate family members, and when he acquires a family, let him change the nomination by giving another nomination form. Normally, when an unmarried person joins, he would be nominating his father or mother. In the Pension part, he will not write anybody as family members but will write the name of father/mother as persons eligible to receive the benefits in case he dies without leaving a family. After marriage, he will submit another form 2 with the name of the spouse as his nominee under PF and pension schemes. Also, please note that under the Pension scheme, only the spouse and children are family members who are eligible to receive family pension in the event of the member's death. Under the Pension scheme, there is a nomination only if the member has no family. That is why the PF form (form 2) is a Nomination cum Declaration form, i.e., Nomination under the PF scheme and Declaration of family members or nomination if there is no family under the Pension Scheme.

Dear Madhu,

Thank you for posting. However, we have a case where the employee does not have a family, no parents/siblings, and is unmarried. What should be filled in form 2 under Nominee details?

Let him write name of any other who may be known to him not necessarily be a relative. Madhu.T.K

The family is duly described in the PF Act, and the employees and designated HR personnel, on behalf of employees, are expected to comply. Follow it and submit the complete form. Agreed with Mr. Madhu.T.K.
