PF Withdrawal: If you are a Provident Fund (PF) account holder then this news is of your use. Actually, the central government has increased the limit of PF withdrawal from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh. Union Labor and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya gave information about this change. He told that if you are a contributor of Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) and there is a family emergency, then you can withdraw more money from your PF account than before.
The Union Minister also informed that the government has also relaxed some rules while giving relief to EPF account holders. Under this, if the employee leaves the job within the first six months of the new job, then there will be exemption to withdraw money from the PF account. He said – Earlier one had to wait for a long time, but now PF contributors can withdraw even in the first six months.
This is their money.

Let us tell you that EPFO is currently giving 8.25% interest on the deposited money to PF account holders.
