Raja - withdrawal limits have been revised recently, in wake of Coronavirus pandemic.
If you have been unemployed for a continuous period of 2 months from you last working date - you can withdraw 100% of accumulated amount from your current PF account. UAN Passbook Portal will give you an insight of how much you have as a balance.
For partial withdrwal - there are various clauses related to illness, COVID-19 outbreak, job loss, non-continuity of business operations,etc - to provide you a part of your money (upto 75% of total accumulation).
Important:
1. It is very important to transfer all of your PF amounts from your previous jobs to the present PF account - by this, you will have all of the money in one place and account. Tansfers are usually attested by previous/ present employer (depends on your choice completely) and may take from 1 week to 2 months to settle.
2. Activate your UAN and always keep UAN portal updated with latest KYC and Bank Account Number, Phone Number, etc. and this can delay/ jeopardize your withdrawal procedure.
3. Log any complaint and grievance to EPFiGMS Portal - believe me - this is one of the finest and expeditious HR service we have seen from GOI - truly commendable. Someone from Senior Ranks in EPFO will attend to your queries, if you are not satisfied from any provided resolution.
