Why Adding a Nominee in PPF Is Important: A nominee ensures smooth transfer of PPF funds to your chosen person in case of death. Without a nominee, legal heirs may face delays, paperwork, and legal hurdles.

Forms Required for PPF Nomination: Form E is used to add a nominee when opening a PPF account. Form F is required to change, update, or cancel an existing nominee at any time during the account tenure.

Offline Method: Bank or Post Office: Collect Form E or Form F from your branch, fill in nominee details like name, relationship, and share percentage, and submit it. Keep the acknowledgment receipt for records.

Online Method (Limited Banks Only): Some banks like SBI allow nominee updates via internet banking or the YONO app. Log in, select the PPF account, enter nominee details, authenticate with OTP, and submit.

Nominee Rules You Should Know: You can nominate up to four individuals and split shares in percentages totaling 100%. Minor nominees need a guardian. Nominees can be changed anytime without limits.

Documents Needed for Nominee Update: You’ll need Form E or F, your PPF account details, ID and address proof of the nominee, and the PPF passbook. The process is free of charge as per latest rules.

Verdict: Simple and Free Process: Adding or changing a PPF nominee is easy, quick, and cost-free. Keeping nominee details updated ensures your savings reach your loved ones smoothly and without legal issues.
