EPFO allows withdrawal of 75% of the fund after one month of unemployment and transfer of the remaining 25% to a new EPF account after a new job.

If you are working, then obviously you also have an EPF account. In the EPF account, 12 percent of your basic salary is deposited in EPF. To provide employees easy access to this savings fund in case of any financial emergency, EPFO ​​has amended the PF withdrawal rules. You know that interest is earned on the money deposited in the PF fund and the deposited amount can be withdrawn after retirement. But employees or subscribers can also make premature withdrawal which is equal to three months of their basic salary and dearness allowance or 75 percent of the total balance in their PF or EPF account, whichever is less. In such a situation, if you understand the latest rules for withdrawing money, it will be easy for you.
