Nupur:
Withdrawal of P.F for reasons of marriage - 7 years of service mandatory. If 7 years of service is completed, then form 31 applies. And proof is required (notice of marriage, invitation card copy)
However, most people misunderstand the minimum of 7 years - it doesn't have to be with 1 employer but 7 years of service! If the employee has held a PF account for 7 years, then he's eligible.
For reasons of marriage, upto 50% can be withdrawn.
If employee is not eligible and you/your organization want to help, then you can advance him the money and deduct it in equal installments.
