PF Withdrawal Kya Hota Hai?
Provident Fund (PF) ek government-backed savings scheme hai jo EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation) chalati hai. Har mahine aapki salary ka ek hissa aur aapke employer ka hissa is account mein jama hota hai. Jab aap retire ho jaate ho, ya kuch khaas situations mein pehle bhi, is paisa ko nikala ja sakta hai — isi ko PF Withdrawal kehte hain.
2025 mein EPFO ne online process itni aasan bana di hai ki aap ghar baithe mobile ya laptop se sirf 10 minute mein claim kar sakte hain.
PF Withdrawal Kitne Prakar Ka Hota Hai?
PF withdrawal do tarah hota hai — Full Withdrawal aur Partial Withdrawal.
Full Withdrawal tab hota hai jab aap permanently job chhodein, retire ho jaayein, ya 2 mahine se zyada unemployed ho jaayein. Isme poora PF balance ek saath nikal sakte hain.
Partial Withdrawal kuch khaas zarooraton ke liye allowed hai, jaise:
- Medical Emergency — Badi bimari ya operation ke liye kisi bhi service duration mein 6 mahine ki salary nikal sakte hain.
- Ghar Kharidna ya Banana — Minimum 5 saal service ke baad EPF balance ka 90% tak.
- Shaadi ya Education — 7 saal service ke baad employee share ka 50%.
- Home Loan Repayment — 10 saal service ke baad EPF ka 90% tak.
- Ghar Renovation — 5 saal service ke baad 12 mahine ki salary.
- Retirement Se 1 Saal Pehle — 58 saal ki umra par 90% balance advance mein.

PF Withdrawal Par Tax Rules — Poori Jankari
Tax ke baare mein sahi jaankari bahut zaroori hai:
