Know how much money you can withdraw for treatment?
If you want to withdraw money from EPFO ​​for your own treatment or for the treatment of any disease of spouse, children and parents, then you can do so. There is no lock-in period for withdrawing it and there is no minimum service period either. For treatment, EPFO ​​members can withdraw six times the amount of contribution along with interest or six times the monthly salary (whichever is less).
Partial withdrawal can be done even in these situations

After 7 years of service, you can withdraw up to 50% of your contribution along with interest.
