PF Withdrawal for Home Purchase: Do You Need to Repay or Pay Interest?

PF Withdrawal for Home Purchase: Interest and Repayment

Shall we need to pay interest on the PF amount we withdraw from our account for buying a home? In that case, do we need to repay the amount later, and if so, in how many years? Or is it just a withdrawal where we withdraw and use the funds, with no need to pay any interest or repay the amount?

PF is your money, and you don't need to pay any interest on the amount you wish to withdraw.

If you withdraw an advance from your EPF account, then you need not refund it. It's your money, and you can withdraw 50% of your share. However, for this, you must be a member of EPF for 7 years or more, and there are certain conditions to take an advance from your EPF account, one of which is "For purchasing Home" as well.

So, go ahead if you have been a member of EPF for 7 years or more. Hope this information helps you. Cheers.

To take a loan for the purchase of a house from the EPF department, you do not need to pay any interest. You can simply withdraw your contribution by applying using Form 31, which is available on the EPF website or by visiting any nearby EPF office. There are specific rules and procedures that need to be followed. If you are in Hyderabad, you can contact me, and I will guide you on how to proceed.
