If you work, your PF is deducted and deposited into your PF account. If your company also deposits the same amount into your account, it becomes a fund. But many people have this question: if they leave their job before the first year, can they withdraw their PF?

When can you withdraw your PF money?
According to EPFO ​​rules, if an employee remains unemployed for 60 consecutive days after leaving their job, they can claim their PF balance. If the employee immediately joins another job, the new employer will carry forward the PF account using the same UAN, and there's no need to withdraw the money.

Can I withdraw the entire amount?
If you've left your job and haven't found a new one, you can withdraw your PF funds according to the rules. However, the rules for the Employees' Pension Scheme are different.

How to claim online?

Log in to the EPF member portal
Go to Online Services and select Claim (Form-31, 19 - 10C) option
Verify bank account
Select PF withdrawal option as per requirement
After submitting the application, EPFO ​​will verify it
If everything is in order, the money will be transferred to your bank account
