Raviraj Parekh May 16, 2020

epf withdrawal

Rules of EPF withdrawal are further simplified by the government. Now EPF subscriber can withdraw funds from EPF account for the medical treatment with self-declaration. The earlier requirement of producing a medical certificate from a doctor is removed from immediate effect. Only new composite claim form and self-declaration is enough for EPF withdrawal in case of medical treatment.

In addition to above requirement of producing a medical certificate by disable in order to purchase equipment to minimize hardship is also abolished. The details of new amendment made under paragraph 68J and 68N are given below.

Additional certificate from employer stating that subscriber is not eligible/covered under Employee state insurance was also required. The detail was required as certificate C.

All requirement mentioned above is removed. Only self-declaration is sufficient.

    Dear Amit,

    You are correct paragraph 68-N has been substituted wherein a member who is physically handicapped would be required to submit only a self-declaration which has already been included in the Composite Claim Form. A member would no longer be required to submit any medical certificate or document or any proforma whatsoever to avail advance under paragraph 68-N.

    Hi Ravi, I would like to make withdrawal from my PF account. I am employed since 2010 ( Full Time / Permanent ) and currently have about 2Lakhs in Employee share. My reason for withdrawal is Medical purpose for myself and spouse, here are my questions:
    1.How much can i withdraw?
    2.My basic wage is 40K monthly – since i am private employee i dont have any DA
    3.How much time does it take for direct bank transfer ( I have all the KYC done )
    4. What documents/medical certificates do i need to publish

    Also, I am withdrawing for medical purpose for current expenses as well as future one’s – I hope this will not create any issue and government will not ask me later where I spent the amount.

    Thanks

    I applied for PF withdrawal online amounting to 90% of my total money in the PF account, however in the online site it has option only for construction of house and not for purchase of house. SO in turn i got 50% of the 90% of ttal money i applied for.
    Now Im short of money and need to pay the downpayment.
    Can i apply again…with the construction of house option.. or do i have to do it manually.
