New Delhi: Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), on Wednesday (December 29), said that subscribers of the retirement fund body can complete the e-nomination even after December 31, 2021.

Earlier, several media reports had suggested that the last date to complete e-nomination was December 31. But EPFO has now extended the last date for the e-nomination service.
