Para 12.17 — MSO

12.17 When a revised nomination is received, the superseded one should be cancelled and returned to the subscriber. NOTE:-The Government of India have ruled when an Accounts Officer receives a notice in writing from a subscriber for cancellation of the nomination under Rule 8(4) of the General Provident Fund (Central Services) Rules or the corresponding rule of other Provident Funds of the Central Government, the nomination should forthwith be cancelled and returned to the subscriber. This should be done even if the subscriber fails to furnish along with the notice of cancellation or separately, in due course, a fresh nomination which is in accordance with the rules of the Fund concerned. If no fresh nomination is received after such cancellation and the Provident Fund deposits become payable as a result of the death of the subscriber, the payment should be made in accordance with the rules of the Fund as if no valid nomination subsists. This procedure will also be applicable in respect of the State Provident Fund if the State Government decide to adopt the ruling of the Government of India.
