In my view, the purpose of nomination is to determine who is entitled to receive the gratuity amount from the company. Once the company pays the gratuity to the nominee as per the Gratuity Act, it stands discharged from the responsibility regarding payment of gratuity. However, it does not mean the nominee has exclusive right to the entire gratuity amount. The rights to claim a share in the gratuity amount, in my view, are to be decided by the laws of succession. Thus, along with a wife, a dependent mother might also have a share in the gratuity amount.

Dear Mr. Ram,
Change of Nomination (Form F) should be handed over to your HR Department itself. I am not sure whether Gratuity is maintained by the company or any insurance company such as LIC, etc. Regardless, one copy of the Nomination form will be kept with the respective employee file for reference.

Dear Ma'am,
Once the nomination details are filled, anyone can make changes by filling out the related forms in the company. If your husband requests to change the nominee details today, they will be updated, and you will be the new nominee. The company will need to resubmit the revised Form 2 in the department. Regarding gratuity, changes can be made at any time.
I would appreciate comments from Amit Thakkar ji on my thread.

Dear All,
The nomination made by an employee for the purposes of the gratuity due to him, if he is covered by the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, has to be in accordance with the stipulations contained in the Act. This Act specifically states that the nomination that could be made by the employee has to be in favour of a member of his family. Who constitutes "family" is defined in section 2(h) of the Payment of Gratuity Act. If the employee dies before he receives the gratuity due to him, it is the duty of the employer to pay the gratuity amount payable to the deceased employee to his nominee. There is no provision in the Payment of Gratuity Act which requires an employee to change the nomination after his/her marriage. The nomination will continue until it is modified by the employee. If at the time the employee makes the nomination he has no "family" as defined in section 2(h) of the Payment of Gratuity Act, then he can make a nomination in favour of any other person. However, the moment the employee acquires a family, this nomination would become invalid, and the employee has to make a fresh nomination which could only be in favour of a member of the "family."
