Among all salaried only few members know that they can take advance from their EPF contribution that too for specific reasons. Hence it is better to know the rules and conditions which can apply to take that advance.
Latest News-EPF Universal Account Number (UAN)-What it is?
This advance facility is specifically designed in such a way that employee’s major needs like  buying property, renovation of property, health issues or marriage and education of kids are easily met with advancing from their EPF. One may not get the full expenses by advancing from EPF but it certainly helps employees in case of emergency. Below table will illustrate you full details about when you can take advance and what are the conditions attached to it.
For all above advances you need to use Form No.31 which either your employer will provide or you can easily get it from EPFO site. Hope this information will be beneficial to all salaried.
Hello sir – GM. I am planning to book an underconstruction flat which will be given for possession in 2026 and would like to use my PF amount for the down payment of my 20% share and remaining I will go for bank loan. When I applied for Partial withdrawal my claim rejected saying it cannot be used for this type of purchase. Will EPF not allow withdrawals for under construction property and also will the amount be transferred to my account or builder account
Dear Kedar,
It is hard for me to validate the reasons behind this. Better to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.

If your earlier EPF is not using by the new organization, then you have to withdraw. But I think you are opting for advance but you have to select withdrawal.
Hi,

But unfortunately, my New organization have created new UAN and transferred the PF amount to the new UAN. now I want to withdraw my PF amount for construction of house but my previous organization service history is not reflecting in new UAN. So if I go ahead and withdraw the PF will TDS applicable for me?

sir, i have 10 years service at old employer, and 2 years experience at current employer gap between the contribution is 2 months. now i have recently transfered my epf amount from previous employer to current employer(form 13 through online) and the amount is settled to current account. Now my question is i am going to take advance for construction of house, if i apply online(form 31) whether TDS will be applicable for me? (PAN seeded but it shows failed)
Dear Natarajan,
There will not be any TDS in case of advance.
Advance means that claim form 31 through online portal.(90 percent amount). is it right sir?
Dear Natarajan,
Refer the above post properly.

Hi, I want to claim online under construction of house category. As this option appears there online, how much /percentage can I claim to my registered bank account?
Prabhat-How much can I claim from Bank??? You mean advance, that is already explained in above post.
So 36 times of basic sal+DA I can claim to my bank account? Because I see your post on 90 percent withdrawal but that has to be through a housing society right?
Prabhat-It is not only for housing society but for all new purchases of properties.
So in case of construction we can withdraw only 36 times of basic wages. Here Basic wages is Current basic salary or employee contribution ?
Prabhat-Your current basic salary.
Hi,
I would like to get an advance cash from my PF account. We can directly apply through online portal to get the approval right?

What should I do now? I need an urgent requirement. Could you please help me on this…
Thanks
Sahul-For what purpose you want to take advance?
Hi Basu
My company is looking for ‘latest khata certificate’ for PF withdrawal for house purchase. But when i got the e-khata from the panchayat office, the system is generating khata with an older date (2014) and the company is not ready to accept that!
All other documents like latest tax paid and latest EC has the same current owner name as that in Khata.
Is it mandatory to get the khata with latest date in it? The BBMP guys are saying it is computer generated and it cannot be altered.
What should i do in this case?
Any help on this will be really appreciated
Thank you
Shinoj
Shinoj-I am not sure why employer insisting it even though BBMP claiming it as a latest. You take the khata and request BBMP Officials to sign on it with date mentioned.
Thankyou. I followed your recommendation and that worked
I tried to apply for Advance for the purpose of buying Plot. But on the UAN Member Portal I do not see that category, though I see all other categories like mariage, illness etc. Isn’t it supported yet or is it that I am yet not eligible. I have an overall service of 8 years with a disconnect in EPF Contribution of 2 months due to job change.
Srikant-If your EPF is 8 years old (contributory period), then you are eligible for an advance. If that option is not showing to you, then raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hi Basavaraj, even I too have the same issue.. contributory period is more than 5 years.. I have already raise an issue with EPFO Grievance cell online.. can you please help if i am eligible or not..
Dear Sekhar,
Refer my reply and wait for EPFO’s answer to your issue raised with them.
Dear Basavaraj
I have continuous service of 7 years and I am unemployed since last 4 months. I resigned voluntarily. I do not wish to withdraw all PF amount. Can I apply for PF advance using option non payment of wages > 2 months?
What document do I need to furnish?
If you could respond as soon as possible that would help. Many thanks for the great work you are doing.
Rohit-Advancing option is not available (only can be obtained for specific reasons). Hence, either you have to continue or close the account by withdrawing.
Thanks for your quick response. Guess I may have to choose medical treatment to get some funds out. Let me see how that works.
Rohit-Yes.
Hi Basavaraj,
This is about withdrawing my pf. I would like to know which is the best thing for me to withdraw PF
I mean online or manually submitting form to office
I have completed 10 years of service in IT and I am jobless since 03 months. So I want to withdraw my PF now. I have 3 employers. At the time of 1st employer there was no UAN in India at all. At the time of 2nd employer I got the UAN and my pf account linked to UAN with 2nd employer. When I was at 3rd employer I had transferred PF amount from Employer 1 and Employer 2 as both employer had digital signature. I have done transfer to Employer 3 online without visiting to employer 1 and Employer 2 and I see passbook is updated with all 3 employers. Now I tried to merge PF accounts to UAN. PF account for employer 2 and employer 3 I can and I am getting OTP. I cannot merge PF of employer 1 with UAN because there was no UAN with anyone in that time. How can I go for online withdrawl. Please let me know
Dinkar-You have to use OFFLINE as you have multiple EPF accounts linked to single UAN (where you are unable to merge all of them into one).

Hello Basavaraj,
First of all I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for explaining all about PF in a simple and easy to understand language.
I have a question regarding “Advance for Marriage or post matriculation education of children”. Under that section, please see the column “documents required with Form 31”. I think the column is incomplete in the above given table.
My main Question: I want to withdraw money for my brother’s marriage. Can you please tell me what else I have to submit along with Form 31? Is there any other certificate or letter that I have to submit ?
Please help by responding. Eagerly waiting for your reply on your website.
Shekar-As per me, that form is enough.
Sir,
I have one last question.
I have UAN. And, I have uploaded my KYC (aadhar & pan card) for my employer’s approval. He said that he has approved it online (digital signature) but I still find the status of the documents as “Pending”.
I dont know whats wrong.
Is there any other way I can get it approved ?
Can I approach my regional PF Office and ask them to approve it ?
Thanks in advance.
Shekar-Approach to EPFO Grievance Cell.
Hi Basavraj,
I had been working with three organisations in the last 4.5 years as below.
1. Jun 2012 to Sep-2015 (Org 1) (PF Account1 – 3 years 3 months)
2. Oct 2015 to Dec 2016 (Org 1 but name changed) (PF Account2 – 3 months)
3. Jan 2016 to June-2016 (Org 2) (PF Account3 – 6 months )
4. June 2016 till date (Org 3) (No PF Account)
Please note that I was not able to transfer my PF balance to the latest active PF Account3. Also, I don’t have PF in my latest organisation, since it has only 7 employees. Hence all the three accounts are inactive.
I am puzzled as should I withdraw the amount since I have contributed for only 4 years. Hence withdrawal may incurr a lot of taxes. Also, can I contribute voluntarily to PF? How can i save tax on PF withdrawal?
Amol-If you are in job, then you are not allowed to withdraw. Yes, if you are in job, then you can voluntarily contribute to EPF along with your employee+employer share.
Thanks Basavraj.
But my new organisation does not have EPF account as it has only 7 employees. Also, they are not planning to have one for some more years. So in this case how can I contribute voluntarily?
This is because I want to complete the 5years lockin period for EPF withdrawal without taxes.
Amol-You are not allowed to contribute on your own.
Hi Basavaraj,
I have completed 10 years of service in 2 organizations (earlier PF transferred to my existing account). Now I am moving abroad to settle there. I understand that I can withdraw Employee and Employer share but am I eligible to withdraw the Pension fund amount or will I get a scheme certificate as I have completed 10 years of service? Thanks.
Arvind-You will get scheme certificate.
Thanks

Dear Sir,
If an employee who was previously a member of an Epf covered organisation has got esic and Epf deducted for three months and has now joined an organisation which is only covered by esic.

Hi,
I have worked for 3 years and am now leaving India for studies abroad. Can I withdraw my full PF ? The 1952 rules say one can withdraw all amount immediately before migration from India for permanent settlement

Rajesh-It is just you are withdrawing from your accumulated amount. So there is no need to repay it. There is no interest on it.
Hello Basavaraj,
Can you please inform, what is the provision if a private employee changes two to three jobs in a period of two to three years of time and in the period of changing job he/she has to sit idle for a period of 5-6 months, then can his new employer see his past employment details of changing jobs and sitting idle period?
When a person attain to a age of 58 then whether he can withdraw his full PF from his own or he/she has to take help from his employer?
Sudeep-With the innovation of UAN, yes the history can easily be available to new employer. Yes, once the employee attains the age of 58 years, then he can withdraw the full EPF amount.

I appreciate your response 🙂

Hi,
In the EPF account details my father’s name is entered wrongly. For this a request has been already raised by the company I currently work in. But it is almost 1 year over still the name is not corrected. Will it affect in anyway when I try to withdraw the accumulated EPF amount?. Considering I am out of job for more than 2 months.
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks,
Kumar
Kumar-It may not affect. But better to rectify all errors. If it took almost 1 year, then raise the complaint in EPFO grievance cell online.

N will i be able to get my pf amount as it will be useful for me to pay my loans .. Do reply
Luvy-In your situation you can apply for withdrawal. Yes, you get your employer contribution too.
Dear Sir,
My question is not relevant to the above mentioned topic but I require an answer on exigent basis. I have got a job offer from a company. And as per the salary offered. The contribution towards gratuity if 4.16%. I am confused because I think it is 4.83%.
Also in the calculation of Gratuity the formula:
Basic+DA x 15/26 * No. of years is counted.
So the Basic+ DA is the Monthly one or Annual?
Kalp-Where you found the 4.83% must be towards gratuity? In formula, salary means a last month drawn salary.
I have found that 4.83% on few hr sites,
In the formula, the last month’s drawn salary or just the basic+da?Because drawn salary has other allowances as components too..
Sir, can I have your email id? Or how to connect with you otherwise?
Kalp-Provide me the link of the same. It must be last month’s drawn salary (Basic+DA). You can contact me through mail [email protected].

Hello Sir,
I am an IT professional. My previous job was with an IT MNC and the job duration was 5 years 2 months & 27 days. I recently resigned and have opted for withdrawal of my PF amount. However, I have got a query from my company, asking for my approval to allow deduction of TDS from my PF amount. Would TDS be deductible even if I have completed 5 years of service & have a PAN number which is there in my PF account details too? I have also submitted a copy of my PAN card to my company too & also filled up the Form 15G. Please advise.
Sweety-In that case TDS is not applicable.
Thank you very much for you prompt & valued reply Sir. Have a nice day ahead!
My ex organization is closed. Before 1 year I resigned this org. and now i need to submit my PF forms ( 10C & 19). please check my below details and confirm how i get my PF from PF office directly.
PF Account Number : DS/SHD/0938519/000/066
my mobile No. : 098335 25799
Arvand-You have to check it but not me. Also, it is dangerous to share your personal information on such public platform. Hence, I am deleting your PF Account number as well as phone number.

What can govt take the action if I will apply for PF withdraw while in job.
Parag-It is left with them.
It’s really very good message for all and I am also a Financial consultant to pass this message to my friends and all. Thank U!
Hi, I need a little help understanding the withdrawal process. My company shut down my process on Dec 8 2014. And 40 of them were asked to resign on or before this date. I resigned by 17 Nov 2014 to get benefits like gratuity as I have worked here for last 5 and half years. Now I want to withdraw my epf and I checked my epf and see three different funds employee contribution.. employer contribution and employee pension. If I apply today will I get my epf in two weeks and will I get all three contributions. Guide me please.
Sharmila-I can’t comment on withdrawal process as nothing is in my hand. But if want to continue your service with different employer then why to withdraw?
last time you told that on job it s not possible to withdraw my PF but i apply-ed and also i received my amount back 95652 RS.
*i let my old company on 15/September 2015 and i got on 16 September 2015 in deterrent company
if i not withdraw this amount what will be the benefit s please explain .
Raghunandana-It may be due to the system not in place to check whether the employee applied for withdrawal is working or not. So you may got this amount. Legally speaking, it is not possible. You already withdrawn, then why you are thinking now of the benefits regarding the possibility of future benefits if continued.
Hi
What if a person has completed more than 10 yrs. of total service; is , say, 40 yrs. of age. and plans to work no more.
Can s/he withdraw complete EPF then? Will it be tax free? In such case, what will happen to pension?
Thanks.
Namrata-In that case they can withdraw. About taxability of EPF, you read my earlier post “Taxation of Employee Provident Fund (EPF)“.
I have been working in a company for 12 years and recently changed the company. The new company provided a new PF Account number, so am I eligible to take loan?
Also my contribution to PF is 9000 per month, and my employers contribution is 9000 (so all of 9000 goes to Provident fund ? or only 3.% goes to provident fund?) I believe there is a max cut off 541 per month for pension fund?
Kumar-Please go through above eligibility conditions for withdrawal and how your EPF contribution will work out.
Dear Sir,
I am having personal loan of rs.200000.00 which i have taken for repayment of Loans taken for Marriage. and i have recently started my EPFO Cutting from my salary (From 01.04.2014). So can i take a loan to repay the amount of Loan taken from a Financial Institute and can i get so much of amount for the repayment.
Kindly suggest.
Regards
Sunil Garg
Sunil-What type of loan you are looking for? If you take any personal loan then the interest rate will be higher. So the best way is to let it deduct monthly.
hi godd morning,
i got a massage via epfo site
Claim ID : TNMAS140750001245
Status : Claim Form 13 for Transfer to New Account Number: AGAINST Old Member Account No (TNMAS00357910000316775) has been approved. Payment is under process. plz explain what is the time taken in tranfered of my account
Abhimanyu-Good news 🙂 I am not sure how much time they take. But anyhow happy ending for you right?
About the minimum membership period, does it mean that the membership should be from the same company or in case I have changed my job but got my PF transferred would it work.
Summit-It will be from the start of the account. So if you transferred the account from one employer to another by retaining the same EPF account then the previous contribution period also considered.
What is the rule about 36 month no contribution? No interest will be given etc. Is that applicable after 36 months or within 36 months? My uncles contribution stopped in Jan 2010 (case of wrongful termination in court). He got interest for 2 years. This year’s interest still not credited.
Shrikant-Sorry for the delayed reply. It is applicable to accounts where no contribution for 36 or more than 36 months. But you will receive this dormant period of 35 months interest. But after reaching 36 or more months no interest will be contributed to such accounts effective from April 1, 2011.
its iinteresting to know this type of option is available
