EPF Withdrawal Rules: You may have to pay 30% tax on withdrawing money from PF, know the new rule

 

Partial withdrawal of PF funds is allowed under certain circumstances, such as medical emergency, higher education and buying or constructing a house.

The amount deposited in PF is a great support for the employees working in the organized sector. Employees withdraw money from their PF account when needed. The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) provides the facility of withdrawal of money for different needs. Let us tell you that the main objective of the EPF scheme is to financially secure the post-retirement life of workers employed in the organized sector through assured retirement fund and pension. However, employees can withdraw funds partially or fully from their EPF account even before the scheme matures. However, recently EPFO ​​has changed the withdrawal rule. After this the tax burden has increased. Let us know what is the new rule of EPFO?

New EPF Withdrawal Rules 2024

Under normal circumstances, if you continue to do a regular job without any break or gap, you cannot withdraw provident fund before retirement. However, partial withdrawal of funds is allowed in certain circumstances, such as medical emergency, higher education and buying or building a house. If an employee loses his job, he can withdraw 75% of the EPF after one month of unemployment and the entire 100% after two months. But for this, the employee has to declare unemployment.

When will 30% tax have to be paid on withdrawal

For partial or full tax-free withdrawal of PF funds, it is mandatory that the PF subscriber has completed 5 years of contribution under the EPFO ​​​​scheme. However, if the withdrawal amount is less than Rs 50,000, no tax will have to be paid. If the EPF withdrawal amount exceeds Rs 50,000 within five years of opening the account, the EPF subscriber will have to pay TDS of 10%, provided he has a PAN card. Without PAN, this tax liability becomes 30%.
