I am a foreign national and I have been working in India for 3 years. After completing the first year, I moved to another company, Y, and asked for my PF withdrawal, which happened without any problem from the company X. Due to the new Indian government rules, my company was obliged to terminate my contract, and I was surprised to learn that I cannot withdraw my PF as per the new government rule.
My Questions
1. Does this rule for PF withdrawal concern me since my recruitment happened before it was published (hired in August 2008)?
2. Does this mean that I have to wait until I am 58 years old for my PF withdrawal? What is the procedure to retrieve it later as I am no longer in India?
