PF Withdrawal Rules : There are many provisions for withdrawing money from the Employees’ Provident Fund (PF) account under the rules made by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). This amount can prove to be helpful in your difficult times. Let us understand under what circumstances you can withdraw how much money from your PF account.
In case of unemployment
If an employee is away from the job for more than a month, he can withdraw 75% of the amount from his PF account.
In case of company closure
If the operation of a company or factory is closed for six months, the employee can withdraw his entire PF amount. However, when the company starts again, the withdrawn amount has to be returned in 36 installments.
In case of retrenchment
In case of being fired from the job, the employee can withdraw 50% of the amount from his PF account. However, he has to provide proof of not having a job while applying.
On work stoppage
If in an emergency the company’s operations remain closed for more than 15 days, the employee can withdraw 100% of the amount deposited in his PF account.
