Common Mistakes to Avoid When Filing an E-Nomination

Filing an e-nomination is a crucial step in ensuring that your nominee can claim benefits without any hassles in the future. Whether it’s for your Employee Provident Fund (EPF), life insurance, or other financial accounts, a correctly filed e-nomination helps secure your loved ones financially. However, many individuals make common errors during this process, leading to unnecessary delays and complications. At VDBS Consultancy Services, we help you file your e-nomination correctly and efficiently. Learn more about our services at www.vdbs.in.

1. Providing Incorrect Nominee Details

One of the most common mistakes is entering incorrect details such as the nominee’s name, date of birth, or relationship with the account holder. Errors in these fields can invalidate the e-nomination or lead to disputes during claim settlement.

Tip: Double-check all nominee details before submitting the form. Ensure that the name matches official documents like Aadhaar or PAN.

2. Not Updating Nomination After Major Life Events

Many people forget to update their e-nomination after significant life changes such as marriage, the birth of a child, or the death of a nominee. An outdated nomination can lead to legal complications and delays in claim processing.

Tip: Always update your nomination promptly after major life events to reflect your current wishes.

3. Leaving the Nomination Percentage Field Blank

When nominating multiple individuals, it is essential to specify the percentage of benefits each nominee should receive. Failing to fill in this field can result in disputes or delays in distributing benefits.

Tip: Clearly mention the percentage for each nominee to ensure a smooth claims process.

4. Using an Incomplete or Invalid Digital Signature

Some online portals require a digital signature or Aadhaar-based verification to complete the e-nomination process. Submitting without proper authentication can render the nomination invalid.

Tip: Ensure that your digital signature or Aadhaar verification is completed successfully before submitting the form.

5. Ignoring Statutory Guidelines and Deadlines

Different organizations have specific guidelines and deadlines for filing or updating e-nominations. Ignoring these guidelines can result in penalties or missed opportunities to update nominations.

Tip: Stay informed about the statutory requirements and deadlines related to e-nominations for your financial accounts.
