Group Insurance Nomination Form

A group insurance nomination form records whom an employee wants the death benefit under the company's group term life (GTL) or group personal accident (GPA) policy paid to. HR collects it at joining and keeps it on file so a claim can be settled quickly if the worst happens.

  • Always ask for an appointee when a child is named

Frequently asked questions

Is a group insurance nomination the same as a PF nomination?+

No. PF, EPS and gratuity have their own statutory nomination forms. The group insurance nomination applies only to the company's group life or accident policy.

Can I nominate more than one person?+

Yes, you can name several nominees and specify each person's percentage share, as long as the total is 100%.

Why is an appointee needed?+

If a nominee is a minor, the appointee receives the claim amount on the minor's behalf until they become an adult.
