Para 12.15 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
12.15 In the case of officers appointed directly to gazetted posts and whose service records are maintained by the Accountant General the Accounts Officer in charge of the Fund should endeavour to ensure that the subscriber furnishes a nomination in the prescribed form as required by the rules of the Fund. In the case of non-gazetted government servants, promoted to gazetted posts, whose pay is authorised by the Accountant General, nomination has to be obtained by the Accounts Officer maintaining the Fund when the employee acquires substantive status in a gazetted post. Till then nominations of such officers will be kept by the heads of offices. In the case of non-gazetted government servants and gazetted officers, whose pay and allowances are drawn by Heads of Offices in Establishment bills, the nominations will be kept by the Heads of Offices.
Note.-A subscriber should not, if he objects, be pressed to disclose the name of his wife, when she is the nominee, payment should be made simply on the proof of identify being furnished.
What This Means
For gazetted officers whose service records are maintained by the AG, the Fund Section must ensure the subscriber submits a nomination in the prescribed form. For non-gazetted staff promoted to gazetted posts, the AG obtains the nomination only after the employee acquires substantive status; until then, the Head of Office holds it. For non-gazetted staff and gazetted officers whose pay is drawn by Heads of Offices, nominations are kept by those Heads of Offices. A subscriber cannot be forced to reveal the name of a spouse who is the nominee.

Practical Example
A non-gazetted clerk is promoted to a gazetted Section Officer post on an officiating basis. His GPF nomination remains with his Head of Office. Two years later, when he is confirmed (acquires substantive status), the AG's Fund Section writes to him requesting a fresh nomination in the prescribed form for their records.
