Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Sambal Card nominee registration and updates.
Any family member can be registered as a nominee — spouse, children (including adult children), parents, or siblings. The nominee must have a valid Aadhaar card and a bank account in their name. There is no restriction on the number of nominees you can register, but death and accident benefits are paid to the primary nominee. Choose someone you trust who has a valid bank account.
Yes. You can update your nominee at any time by logging into the Sambal portal with your Samagra ID, going to the nominee section, and updating the details. Alternatively, visit your nearest CSC centre with the new nominee’s Aadhaar and bank details. The update takes 2–3 working days to reflect in the system.
If your registered nominee passes away, update your nominee immediately on the Sambal portal or at a CSC centre. If you die without a valid registered nominee, benefits may be delayed significantly — the family will need to go through a legal process to claim. Always keep your nominee information current and updated.
The nominee needs a valid Aadhaar card and a bank account but does not necessarily need their own Samagra ID. The Samagra ID is required for the Sambal Card holder, not the nominee. However, if the nominee is also an MP resident and family member, they may already be on the family Samagra profile.
Yes, a minor child can be registered as a nominee. However, if benefits need to be claimed while the child is still a minor, a legal guardian will need to receive and manage the funds on the child’s behalf. It is recommended to also nominate an adult as a secondary nominee to avoid complications. The minor must have an Aadhaar card for registration.
Yes. The bank account details registered on the Sambal portal must be current and active. If your nominee closes their old account and opens a new one, update the bank details on the Sambal portal immediately. Benefits will be transferred to the account registered at the time of the claim — an inactive or closed account will cause the transfer to fail and create significant delays.
