Dear All,

Is it possible to give the F&F amount to the daughter (minor in age) of a deceased employee where the daughter was from his 1st wife, who is no longer alive, and recently he got married again. Also, he has not provided any nomination related to his daughter, and only details of his 2nd wife are available to us.

Who is the rightful person to receive the F&F amount, and what can be done in case the F&F amount is to be given to his daughter?

Hi,

If the second marriage took place legally with marriage getting registered, then the nominee should provide a proper legal heir certificate. Based on the information provided by you, it appears that the first wife's daughter and the second wife are the nominees. However, please insist on a Legal Heir certificate. Also, after the second marriage, have you collected a revised nomination from the deceased employee?

I would suggest being patient and waiting for the proper documents before releasing the dues.

Dear Colleague,

In the absence of any nomination, will, or succession certificate establishing the heirship of the claimants, it will be risky to pay dues to either the daughter from the first wife or to the second wife. You may pay dues to the legal heir only after receiving documentary proof from the competent authority.
