Is an international worker allowed to withdraw PF through his last employer in India? If yes, is there any tax liability on the employer upon receiving the EPF payment into the bank account for the international worker (IW)? The IW is not from SSA countries.

If yes, is there any gazette notification by EPFO?

Hello, As I know, international workers who are not from Social Security Agreement (SSA) countries may be eligible to withdraw their PF balance through their last employer in India. The withdrawal process typically involves submitting a withdrawal application to the EPFO through the employer.

When the EPF payment is made to an IW, there may be tax implications for both the employee and the employer. The employer may have to deduct tax at source (TDS) on the PF withdrawal amount, depending on the applicable tax laws and the IW's tax residency status.

EPFO issues notifications and circulars from time to time to provide guidance on various matters related to PF. It is recommended to check the EPFO's official website or contact them directly to inquire about any specific gazette notification related to the withdrawal of PF by international workers.
