question on legail heirs of Gratuity and Provident fund?

Question

My friend is a separated person and his divorce petition in the Court is yet to be decided. He works in a public sector firm in India. As per the rules of the nomination of Gratuity and Provident Fund, the nominee should be his spouse or child or a legally adopted child. He has no children. Wife has deserted him and his sister is looking after him. He wants to nominate his sister . Is this possible? In case he executes a will, is that binding on the public sector company?

Answer 2

Until court decides the matter he can not nominate anyone else. When a court seperates a couple decision about money distribution also will be a part of the decree.As far as PF is concerned only wife gets it even if she is divorced.
