EPFO: Check withdrawal rules for members, conditions for partial withdrawal, how to make PF claims — Stepwise guide | Mint
EPFO lets you take PF money during service for specific needs, but full withdrawal only after you resign and stay jobless for 60 days. Use Form 31 for partial advances like medical or marriage, Form 19 for final settlement, and Form 10C for pension. Keep at least 25% balance. Claims usually clear in 7–15 working days.
Key Statutory Highlights
- During service, you can claim partial PF advances using Form 31 for reasons like medical, marriage, or home loan.
- Full PF settlement via Form 19 is allowed only after resigning and staying continuously unemployed for at least 60 days.
- You can withdraw between 50–75% of your corpus before maturity while keeping the required minimum balance of 25%.
