EPF Claim Services

Yes, partial advances are available for specific purposes like medical treatment of self/family, housing loan repayment, higher education of children, marriage of self/children, and home renovation. Each purpose has specific eligibility conditions and maximum withdrawal limits.

For online claims, you need: Aadhaar-linked UAN, active bank account seeded with UAN, and 2 months of unemployment (if claiming after resignation). For offline claims, additional documents like bank passbook, cancelled cheque, and employer certification may be required. We guide you on all requirements based on your situation.

Withdrawal before 5 years of continuous service attracts TDS (Tax Deducted at Source): 10% if PAN is available, 30%+cess if PAN is not available. Withdrawals after 5 years are tax-free. We advise on tax implications before filing and help with Form 15G/15H submission to avoid TDS where eligible.

EPFO allows 100% withdrawal of eligible balance. However, for online claims, 25% of the corpus must be kept as minimum balance if claiming before 2 months of unemployment. After 2 months, 100% can be withdrawn. We help you understand the exact rules applicable to your case.
