What happens when someone retires at the age of 60 years and does not withdraw his PF for next two to three years. Will his PF get interest in this period?

As per this notification, EPF account becomes Inoperative Account (i.e. interest need not be credited to members account post 36 months) only in the event of any of the below conditions:
1) On retirement any time after member attains the age of 55 years; or
2) Migrates permanently abroad; or
3) On death of the member
The period of 36 months would start from the above date.
In all other cases the PF account will remain active (in spite of no contribution) and interest needs to be calculated and credited to member’s account on monthly running balance.

Dear Mr P C Agarwal

Thanks for your valuable update on the epf a/c transfer to inoperative account by the department.

In this regard please clarify me on the following situation.

a person retired in October 2014 after working for a period of 22.5 years & not applied for epf withdrawal or pension so far.It was advised that the EPF department would give up-todate interest for three years after retirement and after that the account shall be declared in-operative.

In line with this advice the retired employee has not applied for withdrawal or pension so far and intends to apply for withdrawal before completion of 3 years after retirement to enable him defray the same on the children marriage.

Please advise on this if it is OK to go this way or there is a chance of any problem whatsoever.However after the UAN log in it is seen that the interest is being updated by the EPF deptt for the last two years or so after the retirement.

Kindly advise on this to proceed accordingly for withdrawal,i,e whether it it would be ok to wait for three years after retirement.

looking forward to your valuable response.

with Kind Regards

Dear All,
The retirement age will be defined as per the Company policy.
If the Company / Establishment decided retirement age as 60 yrs, the member will get interest up to 63 yrs and later the account will be inoperative.
From the date of death of the member, the amount is not withdrawn by the nominee, the account will get interest upto next three years from date of death. As well as the member is migrated out of india and not withdrawn PF amount, three yrs from date of migration will get interest.
Accordingly, the establishment will have to register the retirement age to the RPFC.
If the establishment's reiurement age below 55 yrs, interest will be paid for 55 + 3 = 58 yrs.
Thanks,
