There is good news for the working people from the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). The news is that EPFO has now given relief to the account holders by making the rules for withdrawal and claim of PF easier than ever before. Under the new changes of EPFO, now PF account holders can withdraw 100% of their PF money without giving any reason under certain and special circumstances. This big step has been taken by the Central Government to easily transfer the money deposited in PF to the account holder in times of need.
According to reports, the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has now partially eliminated the requirement to provide a reason for withdrawal under the special circumstances category. Under this, account holders will no longer need to provide any additional explanation or reason when applying, subject to the established conditions. This will prevent your claim from being rejected and the amount will be credited to your account quickly and directly.
Withdrawal of money will be allowed under certain circumstances.
The Employees Provident Fund Organisation will give permission to withdraw 100% money without giving any reason only in some special circumstances. This can happen if the company is closed or locked for more than 15 days and the employees are not getting their salaries or if the company is closed for six months continuously. This can be done if the decision of dismissal is challenged in the court. Similarly, the entire PF money can also be withdrawn for the treatment of self or any family member.
