Dear Sir,
I trust this message finds you in good health.
I am seeking information regarding the possibility of an employee withdrawing from their Provident Fund (PF) while still actively employed in the same organization, particularly when there is no change in the Cost to Company (CTC). I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you may have on this matter.

In India, the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) is governed by the Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. As per the Act, an employee can withdraw from their PF account under certain circumstances, even while still being employed. However, these circumstances are usually limited to specific situations such as buying a house, marriage, education, or medical treatment.
If you're looking to withdraw from your PF account without any of these specific reasons, it's important to note that the EPF rules do not generally allow for this. The primary purpose of the PF is to provide financial security after retirement, and therefore, withdrawals are typically restricted to ensure the fund serves its intended purpose.
However, if you're facing financial hardship, you may be able to withdraw a portion of your PF. The amount you can withdraw, and the conditions under which you can do so, are determined by the EPF rules and regulations.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to apply for a PF withdrawal:
1. Visit the official EPFO website https://www.epfindia.gov.in.
2. Log in using your UAN (Universal Account Number) and password.
3. Go to the 'Online Services' tab and select 'Claim (Form-31, 19, 10C)'.
4. A new page will open where you can verify your details and proceed with the claim.
5. Select the type of withdrawal claim you wish to file - Full Withdrawal, Partial Withdrawal, or Pension Withdrawal.
6. Fill in the necessary details and submit your claim.
Remember, withdrawing from your PF account should be a last resort, as it can impact your financial security in the future. If you're facing financial difficulties, consider other options before deciding to withdraw from your PF account.

I presume the post is regarding the possibility of withdrawing the PF accumulations while being employed. I would say that the PF accumulations cannot be withdrawn while you are employed on an organisation to which PF schemes apply. But if the intension is to fund the employee, he can take non refundable advance from PF subject to certain conditions. If the purpose of advance is construction or purchase of residential house, then he should have a minimum service of 5 years (under various establishments but with active PF membership) and if the purpose of advance is for marriage, he should have at least 7 years active membership. There are advances given from the Fund for medical emergencies like surgery.
I don't know what do you mean by "particularly when there is no change in the Cost to Company (CTC)" because CTC has nothing to do with PF status change. An employee having PF membership will not become out of coverage of PF with a change/ increase in the salary.
