Following the submission of the OTP, e-Sign will be mandated to validate the changes by choosing the 'e-sign and download' option.

The subscriber will be asked to e-sign on the 'e signature service provider's page after entering an Aadhaar or Virtual ID.

After that, he or she will receive an OTP on the UlDAl-registered mobile number.

The OTP must then be authenticated by clicking on the 'Verify OTP' button. Upon authentication, the nomination specifics will be changed in the NPS records.

For Government/Identified Corporate sector subscribers, the request must be approved by the respective Nodal Office/Corporate before modification.
