Can Joining a New Job Affect My EPF Withdrawal Process and Payment?

Hello,

1) Is there any restriction in case I have applied for an EPF withdrawal from my previous job that I can't join any other job until the EPF money gets credited to my account?

2) After applying for EPF withdrawal, if the amount is in lakhs of Rs, will all the amount get credited as I have completed more than 5 years with the previous company?

3) Are there any possibilities that, post applying for EPF withdrawal, if I join another job, EPF authorities can reject my withdrawal claim?

Thanks,
Miya

Hi,

In the normal course, after being relieved from your previous employer, if you remain unemployed even after 60 days from the date of relieving, then you are eligible to apply for PF withdrawal. If you are employed by another company, it is advisable to transfer your old PF to your new employer's PF account.
