Understanding PF Withdrawal: How Long Must You Work to Access Your Contributions?

What is the minimum period (service required) to withdraw contributions (PF + Pension) under the PF Act?

Best regards,

Hi Parimal, the minimum period to withdraw the PF and pension is six months or above.

If you want to withdraw both PF and Pension, a minimum of 180 days of service is required. However, this does not apply to the minimum service period for PF.

For PF withdrawal, there is no restriction regarding minimum service. However, for withdrawal towards pension contributions, a minimum service of 6 months (not 180 days) is required. Individuals who have less than 6 months of service will not receive withdrawal benefits but can transfer the service to combine with future service.
