PF amount withdrawal: Provident Fund (PF) or Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a better way to save for the employee working in any institution and provides them financial security for the future.
Under this, the employee has to contribute 12 percent of his basic salary every month. And the same amount is given by the employer. Annual interest is received on this. After retirement, employees can withdraw the PF fund in lump sum. However, in many situations it can be withdrawn before the stipulated time with some conditions, about which we are going to tell you.
