Recently new EPF Withdrawal Rules came into existence where you are allowed to withdraw 75% accumulated corpus if you are unemployed for more than a month.
But before moving forward, please take the note of earlier notification which I explained in my blog post “Tax on EPF after resign, retire or terminated” for better understanding of taxation on EPF after you resign, retire or terminated.
In this new notification, a new clause, 68HH has been inserted after para 68H in the 1952 EPF act. Clause 68H refers to the grant of advances in special cases like your company closure for more than 15 days or 6 months (Refer THIS for more details).
New EPF Withdrawal Rules 2019
As I mentioned above, a new clause 68HH has been inserted along with the existing 68H in the 1952 EPF Act.
The new clause 68HH refers as below.
“68HH. Non-refundable advance to a member in case of continuous unemployment for a period of not less than one month.- The Commissioner or, where so authorised by the Commissioner, any other officer subordinate to him, may permit a member, on ceasing to be an employee in any factory or establishment to which the Act applies, a non-refundable advance up to seventy-five percent of the amount standing to his credit in the Fund, if he has not been employed in any factory or other establishments for a continuous period of not less than one month immediately preceding the date on which he makes an application for such non-refundable
advance.”.
From above notification we can arrive at the judgement of below points.
# You are allowed to withdraw a NON REFUNDABLE 75% of accumulated EPF corpus if you are unemployed for more than a month.
# Such advance is NON-REFUNDABLE. Means you can’t pay it back to EPFO. Once you withdraw this advance then it is your’s. Hence, act wisely before opting this feature.
# Here one month period means it is from the date of an application for such non-refundable advance is applied for.
# Even after such withdrawal is made, the person will remain part of the EPF and eligible for pension benefits.
Keep note of the point also that, along with newly inserted clause 68HH, the earlier para 69(2) that allows 100% withdrawal after two months of continuous unemployment is still in effect. Women resigning to get married can withdraw 100% without waiting for two months.
Hence, it is clear that if one is unemployed for more than a month, then he can withdraw 75% of non-refundable advance from EPF corpus and still continue to be the member of EPF along with EPS benefits.
However, the earlier
Also, women employees resigning to get married can withdraw their 100% without waiting for two months.

If im still employeed but on non paid maternity leave, will I be eligible for the withdrawl?
Dear Salini,
As you are still on employment, you are not allowed to withdraw.
Sir,
I was an international worker in India working from July 2015-Dec 2019. I tried withdrawing my PF and Pension amount but got rejected with the following reasons:
EPF :
1) KINDLY PROVIDE CLARIFICATION FROM EMPLOYER IF THE MEMBER IS AN INTERNATIONAL WORKER
Pension :
1 )KINDLY PROVIDE CLARIFICATION FROM EMPLOYER IF THE MEMBER IS AN INTERNATIONAL WORKER
2) NOT ELIGIBLE FOR WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT
Can you please help me with it?
Dear Kirti,
If you mentioned you are an international worker, then obviously you have to give the proof. Approach your employer.
Do Nepalese come under international workers?
Dear Kirti,
I think yes.

Hi Basavaraj sir,
I have claimed the pf amount of 88k in April 2017. But the pf amount was 98k but I have recieved the amount was 88k. Why the amount fully not credited to my account.
So, is there any steps need to follow to recover the remaining amount into my account?
Dear Veerendra,
Check with EPFO.
Dear Veerendra
4 years gave passed and now you have decided to check on your pf recd.
98k less 10% tax is 88k.
Dear Sir,
I submit 10c from along with annexure K form to EPFO office as my current company is exempted. its really appreciate could you please confirm that in how much day I received my pension amount as I already received the P.F amount.
Thanks in advance.
Dear Pappu,
Hard to say.
Dear Pappu
When you submitted form 10c with annexure K have you written to p.f office a note saying what is your pension number in the unexempted office so that the 2 numbers total service is added.If not you might receive pension amount only of exempted office.
I am in job and need of money to withdraw PF. I had withdrawn Advance under home construction 2 years back and now they would not let me withdraw further for next 3 more years.
1.Is there any other clause (other than covid advance, medical which is partial) where I can withdraw almost entire employee and employer share?
I have tried to withdraw PF under 68BB which is paying the bank loan directly, now they have rejected that saying Bajaj Housing Finance where I have the loan is not in their old 1960 document of listed banks 🙂
2. How do i reach Head Office to suggest and update the document to allow the withdrawal claim to be paid to Bajaj so that they update their operational document
3. I have seen one time exceptions provided earlier to pay to the member account directly with undertaking that member will pay the bank loan directly
Dear EPFO Victim,
1) NO.
2) Better to visit personally.
3) I never heard of it.
Hi Sir,
I applied for ‘PF withdrawal’ and within a week the amount credited to my bank account is the amount mentioned under ‘Pension Contribution’. The amount of employee share and employer share is not credited and the amount is shown under ‘Withdrawals’ and it is stated as ‘Claim against Para 69(2)’ in the passbook.
Kindly clarify.
Dear Lakshya,
Wait for few more days.
Dear Lakshya
It is common when an individual applies for pf and pension the pension amount comes first followed by pf money in a few days.
Dear Sir,
My wife worked for an organization for 9.7years…and this company has now shutdown and we withdraw our PF balance, but Pension we are not able to do so , as per the PF site its starting as 10 years of work and pension fund cannot be withdrawn, and company has already updated as cessation short notice in PF site, as per my knowledge they are rounding it off to next digit , please guide me with the procedure to claim the pension fund or what’s the next procedure
Dear Somesh,
As your wife completed 10 years of service, you are not allowed to withdraw EPS. You have to get the scheme certificate and she will get the pension during her retirement.
I have filled in form 19 and withdrawn my entire of amount but because the passbook was updated late my one months pf shows as balance in my pf account. How to withdraw this. I tried form 19 again but the same was rejected stating claim already settled.
Dear Sunil,
I think they credited all the dues but updating of passbook may be delayed. Wait for some time and check the passbook properly.
Dear Sunil
After interest for 2019_20 is credited for all employees print your pf passbook.If any balance amont is payable you will have to make an application to the p.f. office stating balance amount payable with passbook proof and form 19 .
I have worked in previous company for 5.5 years and after unemployed for6 months I joined new company and working in this company since last 3 years. Can I withdraw advance from pf account from previous employer? Do I need to transfer account to present of account to withdraw advance?
Dear Kishore
Yes you must transfer previous pf account to your current account.
Remember at present you have 3 years aervice and only advance you can get is for covid or medical.Once you transfer previous account you can take advance under different conditions.
Dear Kishore,
Yes, you have to transfer and then withdraw.

Hi
I want to withdraw money for my marriage but epfo rejected it mentioning my seven years are not completed but it’s already completed.I have 4 different PF account numbers linked to same UAN.My pf balance is transfered to my current company already but not sure why they are rejecting it.Any solution??
Dear Swati,
Raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Dear Swati
Considering the fact you have worked for four organizations over 7 years .Pl note everytime a transfer is done they make a manual entry in their form 9 regarding your service details . So when you apply for marriage purpose unless they open their form 9 and check the three previous transfers you claim to be done it will get rejected.
I hope you are aware you will get only 50% of your contribution.
Visiting the p.f. office with the relevant proof of service would definitely help.
Hi Sir,
I have been working for 5 years and resigned Oct 2019. Currently I don’t plan to take another job as I have started up with my own venture. I applied for full claim for EPF but recently been rejected for “NOT ELIGIBLE U/P 68H(1) AS ESTABLISHMENT IS LIVE”. I am not sure what this means. Raised a grievance but taht hasn’t been resolved yet. If you could help me with what is to be done next?
Dear Priyanka,
Hard to predict. Better you approach the regional EPFO.
Dear Priyanka
You have applied for Pf using the wrong option this option mentionedmeans that your iffice is closed for more than 2 months.Please apply using options firm 19 and form 10c not form 31.
Hi,
Thank you for the above suggestions. I got my claim after a month but a 10% TDS was cut. But under my conditions of 5 years 20 days of employment and more than the amount of 50k, no TDS was to be deducted from my final claim settlement. Please suggest the reason for the TDS cut and if I can claim that amount later.
Dear Priyanka,
It is normal for EPFO guys. They themselves unaware of the rules with respect to TDS. You can claim it during your ITR. No need to worry.
I got the below reply after raising the grievance with EPFO Cell:
“With reference to your grievance it is to inform you that NEFT Status is showing Bank Pending . There is no entry in Recredited Rejected Cases either . Amount will be recredited to members account once the amount is received back to this office . Later member can resubmit the claim”
So does that mean that the rest of the money will be credited to my account soon?
Dear Priyanka,
They are pointing to the bank that money transferred but pending at bank level. Check once with the bank.

I resigned from my job on 20th March. I am unemployed since then, I also do not intend to take up a job as I am planning to start my own business.
1. Can I withdraw my entire PF (both employer & employee contribution) and pension as well?
2. If yes, which form should I fill?
3. Also, though my pf has been transferred, my pension is still under two ids, how to merge them and withdraw?
Regards
Also, I am a PF member only since Sep 2017 and my age is 34 years.
Dear Tanya,
Yes, you can withdraw but you will get part of EPS not fully. If you have online credentials in unified portal, then apply online or use the composite claim form and submit to your employer. No need to merge EPS.
Sir Please advice whether I am eligible to withdraw my ER balance

Hello Sir,
Firstly, you are doing a great job by answering all queries. Thanks a lot.
My query is, I have worked for 4 year 11 months and 10 days, would be considered as continuous 5 years of service?
I have worked for two organisation during this period and transferred the pf amount from one to another after switching, my passbook showing amount has been transferred. Now it’s more than a year I have left the job and wanted to withdraw the amount. However, when I am trying to apply for withdrawal on epfo website, the option of composite form for withdrawal not coming, the options coming are:
1. Only PF Withdrawal (form -19)
2. Only Pension Withdrawal (form -10C)
3. PF Advance (form -31)
Which one should I select, I want to withdraw full amount?
Also, for withdrawing, the latest account no. is reflecting & date of joining is showing of last employment not the first employment.
Further in passbook, I can’t see the date /period of service. But in service history tab, I can see the details of both employment. Please guide what to do?
Dear Nitu,
Yours is considered as 5 years of service. Choose 1 and 2.
Thanks Sir

Hi,
I have worked from June, 2014 to Nov, 2017 , after that I left my job . Since Nov, 2017 I have not worked any where for exam preparation. Recently I applied for PF partial withdrawal twice using Form-31 and my claim got rejected both the time.
1st Claim:- 1st time I applied under Form-31 “ADVANCE FOR CONTINUOUS UNEMPLOYMENT FOR ABOVE ONE MONTH” but it got rejected and the reason given was “1) 68HH AFTER THE EXIT 2) NOT ELIGIBLE FOR WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT” i.e. I am not eligible . I don’t know why.
2nd Claim :- 2nd time I applied under Form-31 “Non Receipt of Wages (>2 months)” but it also got rejected. The reason given was “1) PLEASE SUBMIT NON RECEIPT OF WAGES CERTIFICATE FROM EMPLOYER 2) NOT ELIGIBLE FOR WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT”.
As I do not have any employer, from where I am supposed to get the non-receipt of wages certificate .
Also on UAN portal where claim is submitted, there is no option or space for submitting any supporting document . Where will I have to submit it ?
Could you please help me bot the claim reasons. From where should I get non-receipt of wages certificate and where should I submit it ? Also Why am I not eligible in 1st Claim ?

As long as you gave your pf details .You can submit pf consolidated form aadhar.In this form you bypass the employer and has to be sent to pf office directly along with copy of aadhar cancelled cheque and pan card.
You can otherwise submit pf consolidated non aadhar where the emoyer will stamp and send it or return it to you to send to the pf office.Documents same.
Dear Navaneeth,
If you are using the same UAN and legally if you are working, then you are allowed to transfer but not withdraw.

Advance EPF is for special purpose and you simply can’t withdraw like money you kept in savings account.

If you are currently working, then you can’t withdraw but can only take advance and that also for special purpose. Your EPF money is not like the money you kept it in savings account.

Hello Sir,
I am using the same UAN for last 7 years with 3 different companies and a gap of 3 months. Tried PF advance for home construction as withdraw option but the claim is rejected due to insufficient service. Raised grievance as well but of no use. Current situation is out of last two employers transfer , both have been accepted but only one is been reflecting as the other transfer takes time due to Trust and reconciliation takes time at PF office.
Trying to understand if there should be a continuous of 5 years in the same organization for PF advance on house construction loan or else is there something else that they have rejected.
Dear Venkatesh
I suggest you go for offline claim form31 because in service history the transfer from trust will not show.Alobg with the form and cancelled cheque you could give an explanation of your full service.This way there should be no problem.
Regards
Denzil
If you do this pl let me know the result.
Dear Venkatesh,
I think it is an issue of one employer transfer still pending. If you still have doubts, then better to visit the regional EPFO.
Thank you Sir but still trying to understand if the 5 years for house construction loan is eligible for continuous service in the same organization or combined of 5 years with multiple companies with same UAN. Please confirm.
Dear Venkatesh,
It is combined.
Thank you Sir. This is really informative.
Dear Somu
Make a claim again under form 31 then you will get some idea as to what is happening .You will get proof which you can take screen short and then submit grievance.
Dear Krishna
If you see service history you are an active member. Hence no question of taking out money.
Dear Punith
You must be having somen proof certified by employer of your last day of service.
Take that proof and fill up the pf consolidated aadhar form where employer is not involved along with cancelled cheque and aadhdar to p.f. office personally.
Hi sir,
This is punith I need one clarification my previous employer they not updated date of exit in my UAN Now that company got shutdown I’m not able to withdraw that money so please give me ur valuable suggestions

Dear Sir,
I had resigned from my previous employer and was unemployed for about 3 months and then I joined the current employer. Am I still eligible to withdraw the entire PF amount?
Dear Rahul,
If you are already working, then you are not eligible to withdraw.
Hi I am Charan my question is I am working in a company from last 4 years 11 months 5 days now I wanted to resign so is this taken as 5 years, do I have to pay tax on my EPF.
Dear Charan,
Yes, it is considered as 5 years.
Nice article, sir i have a question,
I worked with one firm say from March, 2012 to March, 2015 and then joined second firm say from March, 2015 to March, 2019. So in this case the total tenure applicable for my EPF is 7 years and i am eligible for EPF withdrawl as per the rules. After i log in to EPFO webiste, it reflects two member IDs and links the second firms’ tenure period only for any online withdrawl purpose.
Dear Nitin,
Because you have not transferred the older EPF to new one.
Dear All ,
Please help i have showing in my account last working day 31/1/2019.and new company has showing joining date is-16/1/2019.hence my PF claim not transferring to newly added pf account.Last company denying to change the exit date please guide to claim of transfer.
Dear KKR,
Your employers have to correct the dates.
Hello Mr. Basavaraj,
My wife completed 1 year in an IT sector and it has been exactly 1 month since she resigned, I tried to help her take 75% of the PF amount but it does not give us that option at all, it just tells us to wait for 2 months. But we are entitled to get that 75% after 1 month of service right? Any idea what we may be doing wrong here?
Dear Allen,
Sad to hear that EPFO not updated their system as per the latest rules.
Dear Allen
Check service history as her exit date been updated.
Hi Basavaraj,
Does PF full-withdrawal need continuous 5 years or can
be discontinued 5 years.
i have discontinued 5 years. (5 yrs 5 months) but while withdrawing its showing only the last company’s service detail alone where i worked for 4 months.
All the PF transfer from previous employment has been done and reflecting in passbook.
Please do the needful.
Logs (while withdrawing)

Babu
Dear Babu,
If the whole service period is reflecting in Passbook, then you can withdraw it without tax. If any issue, then raise a complaint with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hi Basavaraj,
The last company’s passbook has that 4 months entry plus “transfer in” of two companies. I don’t see total service period.
I can see in PF portal service more than 5 years of service across 3 companies with gap.
And my PAN card is not verified does it matter ?
Because, while withdrawing its saying “As your service is less than five years or PAN is not linked, Income tax at highest slab of 34.6% is liable to be detected”
Dear Babu,
But as per EPFO data, your service is less than 5 years. Hence, it is taxable income for them. Hence, as per me, first try to resolve the issue of service and then apply for withdrawal.
Hi sir this is punith I need one clarification in my uan I’d bank account which I updated it’s closed now now I want to apply of without employer signature now shall I give my another bank account details for withdrawal need clarification sir

Dear Ganesh,

Hello,
I left my job within 6 months of joining because of my maternity break. In meanwhile i changed my surname ( post marriage) in Aadhar and PAN card and the same were changed at EPFO ( KYC). Now when i try to withdraw my money, the claim gets rejected stating that its short service, copy of PAN card required, 15G/H required. I am unemployed at the moment.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards
Dear Isha,
I think the updated PAN card was not approved by EPFO. Hence, try to update the same by visiting the concerned EPFO.
In pan card we don’t have option of initial but in all my records initial is there how can I withdraw my pf without initial in pan card.
Dear Mahendar,
Try to link PAN by visiting the regional EPFO at first.
Hi Mr. Basavaraj,
I have been following many of your articles on investments, PF etc. Thanks for all the useful info and insights! I have a quick couple of questions on PF withdrawal that I am not getting answers from any of the online contents:
1. It’s 5 months since I resigned (after 12 yrs employment), and have been unemployed since. I want to withdraw part of my PF balance – can I do that or is it mandatory to withdraw the entire 100%?
2. The reason for my first question is that if I withdraw the entire 100%, how will I get the interest amount for 2018-19, that is yet to be credited? Hence I want to keep my account open with a small amount remaining, so that the interest for last year is credited and then, I can withdraw in full.
Thanks in advance!
Dear Rakesh,
1) You can do the both as per the new regulations.
2) The interest will be credited to you on pro-rata basis.
Hi Basavaraj,
I completed 10+ years (Mar 2009-Apr 2019) of IT service in a Pvt Company in India and resigned on 18th Apr 2019, and moved abroad for higher education. My KYC is up to date with UAN,PAN,Adhar,Verified Bank account and I have the active linked Indian SIM to receive OTP in abroad. My questions are:
1. Can i withdraw 100% EPF amount (EPF+EPS) before two month period (before 18th June 2019) via ONLINE mode?
2. This year statement shows that yearly interest still not credited (should have been credited by 31march 2019). Will i get all the due interest if withdraw 100%.
3. if not possible to withdraw 100% ONLINE before two months of leaving job. Can I withdraw 75% now and remaining entire amount on 18th June2019. Will I get my entire money (100%) with INTEREST in this case (two online withdrawal) ?
Dear Gurwinder,
1) 100% EPF but not EPS as you are eligible for scheme certificate due to your 10+ years of employment.
2) Yes, they pay you on a pro rata basis.
3) I have already answered it.
Hi Basavaraj,
Appreciate your prompt response.
As I have moved out of India on a permanent basis so this money is kind of blocked until i turn 58. If I am not interested in Scheme Certificate. Any way to get this money?
Dear Gurwinder,
Sadly NO ways.
I worked for a year n resigned on feb 2018… almost more dan a year i want to withdraw my pf.. wanted to know can i also withdraw pension contributions along with pf amont please guide as i know nothing abt dis subject..??
Dear Sneha,
Yes, you can withdraw the both. But you will receive the part of EPS, not the full amount.
Greetings,
I am Anurag, I don’t have Adhar card, Can I withdrawal my EPF without adhar, Please suggest and give me some solutions

Dear Anurag,
KYC is mandatory.
Hi
My last working day was Feb 2 2019 and I plan to withdraw my PF & EPS sometime in Jan 2020. Is it possible to withdraw the amount anytime in the future or is there a cap? Also, I am opening another PF account from my new employer because I want to withdraw money from the old account. Is this a fine arrangement?
Dear Parinitha,
You can withdraw as per your wife. If you are using the same UAN, then you are not allowed to withdraw the old EPF.
Thanks for the quick response. So, correct my understanding if wrong anywhere. I can withdraw my old PF anytime in the future, right? The only thing is that I should have a new PF which automatically have a new UAN, right? This way I can withdraw as well as continue with a new PF and UAN account. Do let me know if I am wrong anywhere. Again appreciate your quick help in this matter.
Dear Parinitha,
Yes, you can withdraw at any time. However, you can’t have multiple UAN.
Hello Sir,

Hello sir,
Nice to see your blog and it has useful information. I have worked for a software company for 3.8 years and resigned. I am unemployed now. I would like to withdraw my PF and Pension amount through online process. Can you please help me by answering below questions.
1) When applying for claim through online portal, I could see only 2 options, i.e., Only PF withdrawl and Only Pension withdrawl. There is no option to withdraw both. And also there is no option of composite claim. Please tell me where and how can I find Composite claim option and the process to withdraw both amounts.
2) Also please tell me how much tax would be deducted from my PF and Pension amount.
3) Can I keep my PF and Pension amount as it is for 5 years to avoid tax by staying unemployed ? I have worked only for 3.8 years and unemployed now.
Thanks in advance.
Dear Anusha,
1) You can apply separately.
2) Refer my post “EPF Withdrawal Taxation-New TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) Rules“.
3) Your taxation depends on for how many years the account was active.
Hello sir,
I applied my PF withdrawal on May 2nd, today it shows in EPFO portal as settled and amount sent through NEFT on 21st May. but if i check in UAN portal it is showing claim record not found. may i know the reason as iam not sure it is settled or not as i didnt get the amnt still.

Good morning sir,
I need clearance of pf after resignation Sir.
I had officially resigned from my previous employer on April 3rd and it’s still not updated on my epfo portal and currently i was working with a new employer where i have gave my UAN number on joining…. Now is that possible to withdraw my balance PF amount of my old employer….. Pls guide me sir as i was in need of money as i didn’t get my last month salary too from old employer that’s the reason trying to withdraw PF amount.
Dear Lokesh,
As you are using the same UAN and also currently you are working, you are not allowed to withdraw now.
To continue my previous comment, my service period is less than 5 years.
Dear Janani,
In that case you are eligible to withdraw EPF and part of EPS.
Hi Sir, Appreciate you efforts on this blog. My online pf application shows only two option for pf withdrawal – Only PF (form 19) and Only pension (10c). How can i withdraw both pension and pf? please guide in detail if time allows. Thank you
Dear Janani,
Using Composite claim form you can claim both.

More in hand means more tax liability for you.

Hi Basavaraj,
Hope you’re doing good!
My query is with regards to advance claim (Form 31). Although my service history is around 9 years however it doesn’t show in my UAN service history as my case is of two UAN created by different employer. I have transferred my old pf to my current member ID however the service history is not updated. I have raised the grievance several times, even provided annexure K to the current PF office however no changes have been made in the portal. I want to claim advance PF for the purpose of education (self) however I am not able to select this reason on the portal as it says my service history is < 84 months. Please suggest what should I do?
Dear Pranav,
I know it is hard to deal with EPFO in certain issues. Better to resolve it by visiting personally to the regional office of EPFO.
Hi Sir,
Hope you’re doing well….
My question here is, Can I withdraw my pf?,

Is it possible to withdraw my pf from my both previos company?
Dear Manisb,
If they are not under single UAN, then you can. Legally to speak, you are not eligible to withdraw but can only transfer as you are currently working.

I am unemployed for past 40 days, the reason i quit was i need my PF money for my marriage expenses, so as per the new law,they say i can withdraw upto 75% if i am unemployed morethan 30days however online we dont have option for that untill i complete my 60days. Can you please help with the procedure for this issue.
Regards,
Radhika
Dear Radhika,
I think they have not yet updated their system. Better you approach the regional EPFO for the same.

Hi Basu,
I have worked in a company for around 10 months and left in Sept 2015. I am working till now. I want to know if I debit my amount of previous pf, I am eligible for PS also or not .
Dear Lajain,
If you are currently working, then you are not eligible for withdrawal.
my previous pf account is separate from my current pf account. I want to debit my previous pf amount that is 3 years old, To close that account actually.
Dear Lajain,
If both the accounts are under one UAN, then you can just transfer.
Dear Sir,

Dear Parvesh,
Raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
My query is this I am planning to buy a flat not from builder rather from another owner . Also I am planning to use home loan facility for the same . And I was hoping if I could use the partial withdrawal amount for the advance payment to the bank . Would that be possible?
Dear Vishnu,
It may be possible if you are eligible for other conditions.
Considering that the mobile no. on aadhar and in epfo website portal is different. On which number will I receive the claim status update?
Dear Thomas,
It is on the number which you registered with EPFO.
Hello sir
My PF amount is more than 75000/- I have worked almost 3 years 10 months, unable to verify Pancard due to initial issue. And went to the employer regarding PF withdrawal. My employer says nowadays offline claim is not possible. Only through Online.
What I have to do sir
Is offline claim is not possible??
Dear Krishna,
Whether you tried online withdrawal?
Sir
If I claim through online I have to pay 34 percent TDS. So my employer is saying offline claim now has been stopped… What’s the solution to claim offline
Dear Krishna,
Do you feel avoiding TDS means avoiding TAX? Anyhow it is taxable income for you and hence while filing IT return, you can reclaim the TDS.
Hello Sir,
I have applied online for pf withdrawal. Two days back when I check the portal on claim status, it showed me an approval of 66k. Today amount has been credited but was only 59k. It was almost 7k deducted. Can I know the reason.
Thanks
Dear Arun,
It is hard for me to say anything. Better you raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Hello sir

Dear Surendra,
Visit the concerned regional EPFO.
dear sir my father d.o.j is 24/11/2014 and he expired on 28-12-2015. We dont know about pf and I submitted composite claim forms and other documents on 01-04-2019. The amount deducted form my dads account is like employee share 360 employer share 119 pension contribution 249 like this…. He is in service while death. but now in claim status the total amount approved showing for EDLI is 33000 only. But I heard the minimum edli is 30*salary + bonus. my dads salary is basic +da is 6000 approx. Please help me with the information. Its just 3 days i submitted claim. will they update again or i will be getting that much only, if possible please help me with the minimum pension
Dear Raghu,
Refer my post regarding EDLI “Now EPF offers Life Insurance of Rs.2.5 lakh to Rs.6 lakh!!“.
Thank you for the reply sir. Even i filed for epf on three days back, but my father passed away on 28-12-2015 . Will the new rules reflect on us?? And in my claim status why it is showing like
PARA DETAILS EDLI Assurance Benefit
TOTAL AMOUNT APPROVED 33000. It clearly showing amount approved for edli is 33000 only sir, My dads salary is 6000, so 6000*30 = 180000+ 50%(pf amount= 5819) so it would be 182500 approx but its showing only 33000, Will they take time sir for updating as i submitted three days before only??
Dear Raghu,
In that case it may be updating dealy. Better to clarify the same with regional EPFO.

Hi Sir,
I worked for company A for 4 years and immediately joined company B and currently working there for 3.5 years. I wanted to withdraw partial amount for my marriage. The rule says, after 7 years of service i can withdraw 50% of member contribution. I have already transferred previous PF to current organisation. So 7 years include combined service and I will be eligible for this claim. Is my understanding correct. Please help me.
Thank you.
Dear Sharath,
Yes.
Hi sir

Dear Manigandan,
Yes, you have to apply offline and there will be a TDS.
Sir,
I am 20 days short of completing 5 years of continous service with EPFO and currently unemployed . My PAN is also showing as unverified due to my initials in the name. I am planning for higher studies abroad and would like to withdraw both EPF and EPS amount. (Close the current EPFO account)
How to apply offline and avoid TDS in my case. Could you please advice on the offline withdrawal and closing process?
Dear Joshish,
Either visit the regional EPFO or apply for withdrawal from your employer.
Sir
If we apply on offline also there would be an TDS. And what’s the percentage of that
Dear Manigandan,
Why you worrying more about TDS?
Sir,
I’m currently employee and want to Withdraw PF to Procure New Home. Is there any rule is favouring this condition ?
Dear Darshan,
You can go for an advance on your EPF for house construction. Refer my post “EPF withdrawal for house, flat or construction of property“.
Dear Basavaraj,
I found your blog and found it very useful. Was good to see that you’re engaging and helping everyone out, so I thought I’d leave a comment too.
I only had PF at my first job back in 2014. Since then I’ve worked on consultant contracts. Since I needed some money, I filed my EPF and EPS claim on the 28th of Feb online after seeding my PAN, Aadhar and Bank Account. When I didn’t see any progress on the same for 20 days, I filed a grievance. All of the EPFO contact numbers are busy. This was very dissappointing. I wanted to ask if this was the usually run of things?
Also, I’m joining a new job on April 1 which does have PF. So what do you recommend? What should I do? Will my recent claim complicate matters at my new job?
Thank you once again.
Dear Rohan,
If you already raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell, then better wait for their replies. It is always best not to withdraw EPF and transfer whenever you switch the job.

Sir I am working in a company I like to resign I am working from 4 years 9month so after resigning can I withdraw my pf amount which is more than 50k is there any deductions
Dear Chethan,
NO.
I have 2 UAN & 3 EPF account.
New UAN linked with 2 EPF account ( 2nd & 3rd), old UAN linked with 1 EPF account ( first EPF). I transferred the EPF amount from first EPF to second EPF via printed form not a online claim transfer but pension fund not transferred. Then second company they create new uan now 2nd & 3rd EPF are linked to the new uan. But all my EPF amounts are transferred to 3rd EPF account. But pension fund not transferred.
Then how submit EPS claims?
1. From new uan it contains service history of second & third company?
2. Old UAN has first EPS pension fund, I have to submit separate online claim for EPs 10c form?
Dear Senthil,
Your EPS will follow the EPF. Hence, no need to worry.
Dear sir,
I worked with 2 company and now i work with 3rd company.

Dear Harish,

Sir, I’m Manu. Am complete 7 year of employment and still working with same company. My PF employee contributions is Rs. 107000/- employer contribution is Rs. 36000/- and EPS contribution is Rs. 56000/-. Sir, how much amount withdraw my PF account????
Dear Manu,
If you are still working, then how can you withdraw from EPF?
Sir,
MERI service k 10 saal complete hi gai hai (01/09/08) mujhe abi Apne pf ka pura balance withdraw Karna hai tho Mai Nikal sakta tu kya… ? Aur kaise…?
Dear Anandkumar,
Yes, you can withdraw EPF but not EPS.
Sir is it possible to withdraw my PF money without my company not added my bank account to my UAN number.
Dear Dharam,
Yes, for the pending work be in touch with regional EPFO.
Hi,
I need your help. I Worked for a company from July 2009 till September 2011 and contributed to my epf. After that I had to go to Germany for my masters and was there till 2013. After that till now I have been working with 2 startups which never had EPF provision as the team strength was always below 10.
Now I want to withdraw my money. Will it be taxed as I have contributed to EPF only for 2 years, but total service of 7 years.
Dear Sumit,
Yes, it is taxable.
Hi Basavaraj,
Thanks for the response.
However the fact that my other companies in last 5 years not having EPF benefits was something beyond my control. Do you think that makes an argument? or are you sure that I would anyways be taxed?
Secondly, If I decide to leave the EPF as it is, will I still keep earning interest on it for the rest of my life till 58?
Sumit
Dear Sumit,
It is the contributory period that matters. Yes, if you keep the account idle, then it will earn interest but it is not tax-free.
Hi Basavraj,
Thanks for the clarification. I had decided to withdraw the amount, but after your inputsI think I should rather let it remain there.
I have 2 more follow up questions though
1. I read in some article that post 2011 govt had decided not to pay the interest for inoperative accounts (after 36 months of no deposit) and then in 2017 they decided to withdraw this clause. Did inoperative accounts earned any interest during that period between 2011 to 2017?
2. I want to keep track of my EPF deposits, but I don’t have a UAN number. Just the old PPF number. How can I get a UAN number now? Nothing mentioned in the website as well. (Please note that I had to abscond from my first company for higher education as they didn’t give me proper release, so they would definitely not help me with my UAN number)
Thanks in anticipation.
Sumit
Dear Sumit,
Such inoperative accounts also earn the interest but it is taxable income for you. You can generate the UAN on your own. However, if you are no more working, then I suggest you to withdraw.
I need help from all of you to solve this problem:-
Starting from joining of the first organization to the last employee is as follows ( on chronological orders) :-
Sept 2008 – Joined company A – Resigned from service Feb 2011- PF account details is available with me – PF account status >>Pf amount, not withdrawal, Inoperative at the moment.
March 2011- Joined Company B – resigned from service December 2011 – PF account details is available with me – PF account status >>Pf amount, not withdrawal, Inoperative at the moment.
January 2012- Company C- resigned from service July 2012 – PF account details is available with me – PF account status >>Pf amount, not withdrawal, Inoperative at the moment.
August 2012 – Company D – resigned from service Sept 2014- PF account details is available with me – PF account status >>Pf amount, not withdrawal, Inoperative at the moment.
This time UAN service comes into the picture and having my UAN number, but UAN number was only for this account
October 2014 – Joined company E and resigned from service on July 2016. >>>PF account status >>Pf amount, not withdrawal..
Please note that UAN is not linked with this employers, before joining this company the UAN supposed to link with this organization but its not done.
After this service, I left India and currently working in overseas, therefore my UAN is not linked with any other PF account except one ( Company D). Could you please suggest me how to extract entire PF amount easily.
Looking for your expertise in this regards.
Dear Sam,
As the all your EPF accounts are not linked or transferred, you have to request for withdrawal separately.
Thank you for your suggestion. One last suggestion I need, among of those pf, one pf in chennai brunch office and one Mumbai and one bangalore. Therefore do I need to visit respective places or can I claim my submission from any EPFO office in India??
Dear Sam,
If visiting to respective offices not possible then you can submit the request through respective employers also.

Hii Sir Rathna here,

Dear Rathna,
If PAN verification is not happening through online, then better to visit the regional EPFO and try to link. However, do you feel avoiding TDS means avoiding tax? In your case whether they deduct TDS or not, it is taxable income for you as your service period is 4 years.

I left the old company on jan-3rd 2019 and joined a new company but,still new pf is not started or linked yet,new company pf will be adding after 6 months,Now i want to apply my old pf ,but its showing “Date of leaving is less than 2 months from today or age should be 58 years or more” like this it will showing, please tell me tha solution?.
Dear Naveen,
Yes, you are allowed to withdraw only after the completion of 2 months from the date of your last working day.
Hi Sir,
I had to resign due to ill health and have been unemployed since over a year. The umang app shows my exit details as cessation-short service which I believe will cause deduction of TDS in my case as the amount is above 2lac. Please advise what action needs to be taken from my end.
Regards,
Will
Dear Will,
Do you feel avoiding TDS means avoiding TAX?
I understand that TDS can be claimed back and tax is my liability but I do not qualify for a tds deduction or tax. Though my service tenure was a few months short of 5 years but I had left due to ill health and as per epf withdrawal rules (para 68j) there should be no TDS applicabe. Also, the “proceed for online claim” on Umang App is greyed out.
Dear Will,
In that case, I suggest you to approach the regional EPFO and apply.
Dear sir,
The online epfo website does allow me to apply instead of the umang app.
The total amount of my pf is approx 3.5lac and I have been unemployed for 2years now. The reason for leaving service was ill health and service duration was 4yr 8mths.
My question is will I get taxed on the total amout?
The info that I get online is that if one completes 5 yrs or service termination is due to ill health/lockout then full amount is credited.
Please help as I am not able to get a precise answer to my issue.
Thanks.
Dear Will,
No, as you completed almost 5 years of service.
Dear sir,
Is their any process for offline pf withdrwal?
Dear Navneet,

Dear Srinivas,
Legally you are allowed to transfer the EPF but not eligible to withdraw.

Hi Basavaraj,
I was unemployed for 3months (oct’18 till mid of Jan’19) but couldn’t claim as i got error my UAN was not verified. Now I am employed again. Can i withdraw 100% of PF untill last emploment?
Now my UAN is verified and I am able to click online withdrawal, but the bank IFSC code is wrong. Can I proceed with the withdrawal steps?
I had been with 2 companies earlier and have 2 PF account linked to my UAN. Does this withdrawal include both accounts or should I initiate one by one?
Dear Sowmir,
Better to correct your bank details and then try for withdrawal. Regarding 2 accounts, if all your EPF accounts are under one UAN and you are currently working, then you are not allowed to withdraw.
Dear Sir,
My wife is working with AXA group currently which does not have a PF policy since it’s an insuarance based company where as they have a trust where they accumulate contributions.
6+ months earlier she was working in some other company which had her EPF opened where the total amount is showing approx. to 54K.
Now since she cannot continue the EPF in current company can she remove the amount.
We got married 1.5years back & recently booked a property. Can this reasons good to withdraw full amount.?
Dear Ankit,
If the current company not offer her EPF, then she can withdraw.
Right now I am in notice period one month. Leaving job permanently and joining my own business. I want to withdraw 100% of my EPF balance. Please tell me whether I can do so.

Hello, I am working overseas for a year and would like to withdraw full amount. I am not working for an Indian employer. My PAN is not linked/verified in UAN site. Can I withdraw the amount offline? through paper process (Form19, Form 15G)
Dear Onnesh,
Sadly NO.
Dear Sir
I have not yet withdrawn the pf amount after leaving the company for 2 years. I am working in abroad and contacted my previous employer for withdrawing the pf amount. They suggested me to apply by online. I have the UAN number and I checked the passbook and It shows employee share, employer share and pention contribution. So I understand that as per the rules I cant withdraw the full amout. Can I withdraw employee and employer share leaving the pention contribution or how much I can withdraw now. Please advise me so that it will be very helpful.
Thanks

Dear Rajesh,
Why not visit the regional EPFO and try to link? Above that, avoiding TDS does not mean avoiding TAX.
Can you kindly tell me that how much amount is going to be deduct if I wants to withdraw an amount of 70000 ?

I am not sure why you concentrating on TDS. I am repeating once again, avoiding TDS does not mean avoiding TAX.

Hi Sir!!
Good evening.
I am facing issue with verifiying the PAN against UAN, but AADHAR and Bank Details are seeded to UAN, and Pan is linked to AADHAR and Bank as well. So am I eligible to withdraw the PF without 34.6% Marginal tax.
Dear Martin,
Even if they deduct the TDS, you have all option to refund it by filing IT return.
Dear Sir,
My husband has switched job to other company. Can he withdraw partial PF amount? We have tried online but our criteria doesn’t match with mentioned criteria in form31.
Could you please suggest?
Thanks and Regards.
Dear Dipa,
I think they have not updated the software as per the recent changes. Better you apply directly either through employer or by visiting to EPFO.
Hi sir,
Please note that i have left my previous organization and currently working for different organization my UAN number is still same and Member id is different. can you please assist me as how to withdraw my previous company’s PF.
Dear Imran,
As the UAN is same, you are not allowed to withdraw.
Hi Sir,
Thanks for your response. is there any possibility to withdraw some portion of my PF amt. as i am in desperate need.
Dear Imran,
You can withdraw for special purposes like Health Issues, Education or construction of property.
Hi Sir,
Do i need to serve any proof if i am withdrawing money for Construction of property and what percent can i
withdraw.
Dear Imran,
Yes, obviously.
Hi Sir,
I left my org and joined a new co., but still my UAN is same. I think my PF amt is also transferred but while checking my PF status of new company only the PF amt is transferred and not the PENSION amt.
How can I withdraw my pension amt ?
Also advise how can I withdraw my PF amt too without leaving the current job as I am is desperate need of money.
Dear Imran,
Your EPS will follow your EPF. Hence, no further action to transfer the EPS is required. Regarding withdrawal, sadly when you are in job, you are not allowed to withdraw.
Hi,
Unemployment date starts from where ? From Resign date (Last working day in an organisation) or last PF submission date by an organisation .
How we can count our 2 months of unemployment to withdraw 100% EPF? Please clarify.

Dear Amit,
It is from your exit date (which Employer enters into EPF records).
Hi sir,
I have completed my 5.5 yrs completed & left the organization.
I had updated my adahar number but some that reason only for “dot.” In my UAN account unable to update my PAN details
CAN I WITHDRAW MY PF ONLINE WITHOUT UPDATE THE PAN
Dear Md,
In that case they deduct the higher TDS.
in 2019 whole pf amount cant remove only 75% if worked 5 + years ?
Dear Mohd,
Your withdrawal is in no way connected for how long you worked. Please cross check the above post once again.

Dear Sir,
Your articles have always added new elements of knowledge and you are an inspiration.
Request you to clarify what has essentially changed with this notification, as earlier also we were allowed to withdraw up to 75% of corpus from EPF upon 1 month of unemployment and EPFO benefits still continued for rest of the amount. Thank you.
Dear Rahul,
Earlier if one is unemployed for more than two months, then he was eligible to withdraw the all 100% of the corpus. In that case, EPF account will get closed. However, in this case, one can withdraw 75% NON-REFUNDABLE advance if one is unemployed for more than a month. Rest 25% will remain in EPF along with EPS benefits. Hence, it is like an emergency financial set up for those who can’t bear the job loss.
However, I strongly admit to create an emergency corpus to sustain such financial loss rather than experimenting with withdrawal from EPF.
Hello sir Basavaraj ,
I haven’t activated my UAN no because I left my job 7 years ago, while generating UAN no getting some error and my aadhar is not updated I have already submitted my all document. Can you please provide me some tips about this matter.

Sir,
I have an epf account which is right years old but still I am not able to make an partial withdrawl as it is showing 5 years of service not completed. All my previous accounts have been merged and the full amount is shown in my EPFO account but it’s not updated in service history. I have raised multiple request for the same but no response. Please suggest
Dear Vikas,
In that case, it is better to visit personally to the concerned regional EPFO.
Sir it is eight years old
