Bank Account on EPF Withdrawal - Now I use a different salary account

When applying for EPF withdrawal, should the same salary bank account be given as when I was with my previous employer? I got the account closed when I left the organization because I had to maintain a minimum balance. Now I use a different salary account. Can I use this account for EPF withdrawal purposes?

Hi ambivert,

Yes, you can use a different salary account, and it should be from any of the scheduled banks (using a nationalized bank is more useful).

I agree with the opinions as above. It is better to attach a copy of the passbook with the withdrawal form in order to avoid any objections as well as ensuring the exact bank account in which the amount is being sought to be credited.
