Hi all,
I am a new member of this forum. I read this regularly and find it to be really useful. I have a query. I have completed 5 years of experience in the same organization. I would like to withdraw some amount of my PF for a down payment for a house. In such a case, I understand that the amount will not be taxable as I have completed 5 years. But I would like to know if this amount withdrawn needs to be repaid (as a loan) again to my PF account. Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, Malik!
I do not require a loan, but I just want to withdraw money from PF. I was doubtful whether it needs to be repaid. So, do you mean to say the amount withdrawn needs to be repaid?
Thank you!

Hi,
You can withdraw PF amount from your account for the following purposes after completing 5 years of membership in PF:
1. Construction of a house.
2. Purchase of an empty plot.
3. Purchase of a flat.
For the above, all the documents related to the site and house should be in your name. You do not need to repay the above amount back to PF. However, if you do not produce the following documents for the utilization of the fund, the amount issued will be recovered with minimum interest:
1. For construction - Completion certificate.
2. For the purchase of a plot - Copy of the sale deed.
3. For the purchase of a flat - Copy of the sale deed.

Hi,
Udaykumar's views are perfect, but to add a few points:
1. If you are repaying the loan amount to any bank, you need to submit the amount pending in the bank as documentary evidence. In such a case, you may be required to furnish the original sale deed. Therefore, you need to make a request accordingly.
Also, note that you will be able to withdraw the amount only once during your service (for the same house, you can seek additional loans for construction, etc.), but you cannot obtain a loan for two different locations.

For partial withdrawal from the PF for some personal needs (like marriage, house etc.), you need to apply in FORM 31 with all formalities completed (as stated therein).
