Can I Withdraw My PF Right After Leaving My Job, or Do I Have to Wait 2 Months?

Hi all, I have just left my previous organization and would like to withdraw my PF amount. The HR of my previous organization told me I can only withdraw my PF amount after the completion of 2 months from my relieving. Is that true? Do I need to wait for a 2-month period to be eligible to get my PF? Please help.

Regarding Your Query

It is correct that you can apply for PF withdrawal after 2 months from your last working day in any organization. That is a PF rule, and the logic behind it is that employees are no longer employed with any employer for two months because withdrawal is exempted in continuous employment.

Hi, you can apply for PF withdrawal after 2 months only as per PF rules.
