How much money can be withdrawn from PF?
Any person can withdraw advance money from PF account for his marriage as well as for the marriage of son-daughter or brother-sister. As per EPFO rules, you can withdraw 50 percent of the total amount deposited in your fund including interest. However, the most important condition for this is that it has been at least 7 years since your PF account was opened.
How many times can I withdraw money?
Advance money cannot be withdrawn more than 3 times for marriage and studies. Explain that 12% of the basic salary (basic salary) of the employee goes to the PF account. Apart from this, 8.33% of the deduction made by the employer in the employee’s salary goes to EPS (Employee Pension Scheme), while 3.67% goes to EPF. Your PF is deposited every month, but interest is earned on an annual basis.
