Hello Seniors,
I resigned from a company in July 2009. I could not apply for PF withdrawal at that time. I had moved out of the city last year. Now I want to apply for the withdrawal. Will there be any problems with that? Is there any time limit to apply for the withdrawal of PF amount after resigning from an organization?

Dear Meetu, No problem with that PF withdrawal. You can withdraw your amount through Form 19 & 10C. Yes, you can withdraw your amount after two months from the date of leaving.

Hi Meetu,
How are you today? It doesn't matter whether you are in the city or not; you can apply for the withdrawal of your EPF amount anytime. You just need to fill out the form and post it to the employer with a canceled check and complete bank details, i.e., account number and bank name with the branch. They will take care of the rest, and you don't need to do anything else except follow up with them.
After submitting your form, you need to check with your bank for the amount.
If you have any questions in your mind or any queries, feel free to write to me.

Hi,
You can withdraw PF anytime after 60 days from the date of leaving by submitting Form 19 to your previous employer. The pension amount can also be withdrawn provided your membership is less than 10 years; otherwise, you have to opt for a pension after 58 years of age. If you withdraw PF after 5 years of leaving, you may have to submit an indemnity bond to draw PF.
It is better to get it transferred if you are still working.

My suggestion is, if you are in the city where your former employer is located, it's better for you to go in person and get the work done. This is because even though the employer has filed the annual return, the department may insist on the earlier 3A.

There is no specific time frame for the withdrawal of PF. You have two options for the same. The first option - if you have joined another organization, then you can send Form 13 for PF transfer. Alternatively, you can submit the form for withdrawal, but it will be subject to tax if you have served in the previous organization for less than five years.

There is no time limit fixed for claim withdrawal of PF accumulation from the authority. As Abasiti said, the interest part is not payable after three years. So don't worry, your PF accumulation is safe, and you can submit the withdrawal now also.

Provident Fund, for whatever period it may be, is withdrawable at any point in time during the lifetime of the member or even after that; it does not become time-barred. You can apply for withdrawal from any city or village in India. If you have not claimed the provident fund/pension amount for three consecutive years after the discontinuation of services, for whatever reasons, you may have to furnish an affidavit cum indemnity bond to the concerned Regional Provident Fund Commissioner-II specifying the reasons for being late in claiming the provident fund accumulations. Should you require any further assistance, please feel free to email me at guidancepoint@sify.com.

Dear Meetu,
You can withdraw PF anytime after 60 days from the date of leaving by submitting Form 19 and 10 C to your previous employer. The pension amount can also be withdrawn provided your membership is less than 10 years. Otherwise, if you have completed 10 years of service, you will receive the Pension Scheme Certificate for pension after 58 years of age. It is better to get it transferred if you are still working.
PF Transfer Form No. 13 should only be signed by the present employer for future reference.

The decision by the Employee Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to stop paying interest on accounts that have not been operated for 36 months or more is expected to cover 60 percent of the accounts. According to EPFO estimates, there were 30.5 million inoperative accounts across 120 offices. In all, the agency had 47.1 million subscribers at the end of March 2009, which is estimated to have increased during the last financial year. However, the latest data on the total number of subscribers was not available.
In all, the agency estimated that Rs 15,416 crore was lying in inoperative accounts (see table).
While 85 percent of the inoperative accounts have a balance of less than Rs 5,000, such accounts having less than Rs 1,000 are 51 percent. The balance in some of these is as low as Rs 1 or Rs 2, but maintaining these accounts costs around Rs 100. EPFO said over 11 percent of the inoperative accounts had less than Rs 100.
The low balance in inoperative accounts was the result of subscribers giving up on their jobs, while the ones with more funds may have been the result of members choosing to leave the balance and opting to open a new account while switching jobs.
"As long as someone is in employment, the employer pays a 1.1 percent fee on the amount deducted. But the moment the deduction stops, the fee also ends, as it cannot be levied on the employee. So, EPFO ends up spending money to keep the account running," said an official.
Although one option was to levy an annual maintenance charge of Rs 100 on the inoperative accounts, EPFO has decided against it. Instead, yesterday, the Central Board of Trustees decided that from April 1, 2011, EPFO will stop paying interest for inoperative accounts from the 37th month. It was also decided that in case these accounts remain dormant and if any member claims it with proper identity, the balance in the account will be paid to the subscriber. Also, in case an establishment defaults in payment of contribution for 36 months, accounts would be made operative on payment of the dues and the interest on it.

Hi,
I am Mark. One of my friends is working with a financial company (IIFL), which previously had a subsidiary called IIDL that merged in 2008 with the parent company, IIFL. My friend, who was working there, found out that his PF account was closed in 2005, and he has no idea about the new PF account created by the company. The PF office told him to bring a resignation letter from the company if he wants to withdraw his amount.
What should be the possible solution for the withdrawal of PF? Should he follow up on the PF from 2005 that was deducted from his salary???
Please let me know.

Administration charges for PF and EDLI are 1.1% and 0.01%, respectively, based on the consolidated amount of applicable salary (for each organization, not on an individual basis). The minimum charges are Rs. 5 and Rs. 2 for PF and EDLI, respectively. Any fraction of 50 paise and above will be rounded up, while those below 50 paise will be rounded down to the nearest rupee. There are no slabs or other applications.
