Dear Friends,
1. PF Withdrawal upon resignation:
Upon resignation, an employee can either withdraw or transfer his/her PF amounts at his desire.
a) For Withdrawal: In order to withdraw the PF/Pension funds, you have to submit Form 19 and 10 C, preferably through your employer. Depending upon the attitude and working capabilities of employees in the respective EPF Office, it will take 45 to 60 days to get your balance credited to your bank account. Withdrawals of PF can be done only after a 60-day period after resignation.
Form No. 19 is for Provident fund withdrawal & Form No. 10 C is for Pension scheme withdrawal. I have attached both the forms for your reference.
b) For Transfer: For transfer, you have to get Form 13 submitted through your present Company, but you need to know your earlier PF account number, etc.
Also, you need to provide the following details to your current company:
- Name and address of the previous company from which PF is still pending to be claimed.
- Group Code of the previous company.
- Date of Joining and date of leaving from the previous company.
- Your PF number from the previous company.
2. PF withdrawal during Working period:
The Provident Fund members can avail advances/partial withdrawals subject to certain conditions like Marriage for self and dependent sisters, brothers, etc., purchasing a dwelling house or repayment of housing loan, specified medical treatments, closure of establishment, etc.
You need to submit FORM 31 for claiming the amount. But the PF authorities will sanction only if you satisfy the qualifying conditions. I have attached a document "Guidelines for PF withdrawal" that gives you a clear idea of on what grounds an employee can withdraw PF during his/her working period.
Hope this information is of some use to you. Seniors, please add your comments and suggestions. Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere. I just shared what I knew.
Have a great day ahead.

Useful for everyone. Seen a lot of queries for the same.
In this regard, I have one query. My PF amount is pending from my previous employer. I tried to withdraw the same, but it was rejected on the basis that it was for less than 6 months. I am willing to get it transferred to my current employer.
Now, in case I change my current job, I will have two PF accounts (Previous & current) to be transferred to my new PF account. How can such cases be proceeded? What is the best course of action?

Hi,
I had my PF account with EPFO Faridabad, and my company was also in Faridabad. I have completed withdrawal forms, including Form 3A. Now I need to submit them to the PF office in Faridabad. Is it possible to send the forms by courier or post, or do I need to submit them myself? Please suggest as I am no longer residing in NCR.

If you want to transfer your PF amount to your new PF account with your current employer, you need to fill out Form 13 and submit it to your current employer.
If you wish to withdraw your PF money, you need to fill Form 19 and Form 10 C. After filling them out, send these forms to your last employer to fill in the employer's contribution and your contribution for the current year. Finally, get the signature and stamp of your last employer and submit these forms to the PF Department in Faridabad. Do not forget to receive an acknowledgment slip after submitting them.

Hi Shweta,
I have not heard that they cannot settle your PF account on account of less than 6 months' contribution. Your employer must not have filed the return to the PF department, hence making these excuses. Have you received these comments in writing/on paper?

Dear Taru,
I sent it myself to the PF department, received the acknowledgment, and after some days, the form was returned, which I received from the PF department only. The reason for rejection was mentioned as the contribution is less than 6 months.
