Selvi

The member has been completed 6 months for Withdrawal Benefit..

Hi
The employee should contribute atleast for 6 months contribution

For Expats PF can be withdrawal is only after retirement.
If PF is deducted and there is SSA (Social Security Agreement) between that country with India, as per SSA the PF can be withdrawn.
If they have produced COC (Certificate of Coverage), the PF will not be deducted in india.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sudha,
I suggest you to transfer the PF.
Now a days it is very easy to transfer the PF online.
Register your name in your PF portal and fill up form 13 and submit to Present / Previous employer.
Thanks,

Hi all..
One of my friend change three companies in his 8years career. Every time he is withdrawing only PF amount by submitting Form 19, recently he got to know that about form 10c for Pension scheme. So the issue is can he withdraw now the Pension amount of his last 3 companies. He worked more than 180days in every company. Please Help me. Waiting for your valuable suggestions.

Dear All,
Even though you have withdrawn PF, you can transfer EPS.
Fill form 13 from present establishment with three companies separately and submit to your PF office.
Write on top of the application " For Transfer of EPS A/c only "
Thanks,
Bhat

Hi Vidyadhar Bhat
Thank you for your suggestion.
I have other doubt like if any an employee joined in a new firm on 25th or like in the middle of the month is he/ she eligible to cut PF from the Salary.
I mean is there any criteria of minimum working days for PF cutting?
