Life Insurance Nomination Form

A life insurance nomination form names who should receive the sum assured under the employer's term life policy if the employee dies while covered. It records the cover basis, such as a multiple of CTC, and is kept with HR so the death claim can be filed without dispute.

Frequently asked questions

Is EDLI nominee the same as group term life nominee?+

No. EDLI is linked to your PF nomination with EPFO. The company's group term life policy uses its own nomination form.

How much life cover does a company term policy give?+

It varies by employer, often a flat amount or a multiple of annual CTC. Your HR policy or benefits statement will state it.

Does life cover continue after I leave the company?+

Group cover usually ends on the last working day, though some insurers offer conversion to an individual policy.
