PF Advance Withdrawal Rules: The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has made a big change. PF account holders can now withdraw up to Rs 1 lakh instead of 50 thousand. Union Labor Minister Mansukh Mandaviya announced this earlier this week on the occasion of completion of 100 days of the government. Along with this, another change has been made in the rules.

As an emergency fund, withdrawal of Rs 1 lakh has now been allowed instead of Rs 50,000 from PF, which means that you can withdraw money from PF for medical, marriage, education or other important family needs.
