EPF subscribers can take advantage of Kovid Advance
It is to be known that subscribers can take advantage of the non-refundable Kovid Advance for the second time. In March 2020 also, the government had given advance facility to EPF subscribers under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY). In May, the Labor Ministry allowed withdrawal of second non-refundable Kovid-19 advance, giving relief to its subscribers from the second wave of the epidemic in the country. Under this, you can withdraw 75 percent of the amount deposited in your PF account or an amount equal to three months’ salary (basic salary and dearness allowance) (whichever is less).Also Read:Up govt workers get extra 4 thousand to 21 thousand money in salary after implementation of DA DR
