There is great news for 6 crore EPFO members. Now on withdrawal from PF account, money will come in your account in 3 days. In view of Corona, the EPFO has allowed its subscriber to withdraw advance money from the Provident Fund. Under this, members have been allowed to withdraw three months’ basic salary (basic pay + dearness allowance) or up to 75 percent of the amount deposited in their provident fund account, whichever is less. The Labor Ministry said in a statement that to help its subscribers during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EPFO has allowed its members to take the COVID-19 advance for the second time, which will be non-refundable.
To meet the financial need of members during Corona, the provision of special withdrawal under Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY) was made in March 2020. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) early last year allowed its members to withdraw money to meet emergent needs due to the pandemic.
Just a few days ago, the retirement fund management body EPFO has allowed the second withdrawal of money from the PF account with the intention of providing relief to its more than five crore subscribers in view of the second wave of corona virus infection in the country.
