Dear All,

There is an employee who wants a loan against his PF amount for his daughter's higher education. I would like to know:

1. How much percentage of a person's PF amount can be obtained as a loan?
2. How many years of service should the person complete to be eligible for the PF loan?
3. What documents are required to be submitted to obtain this loan?
4. How many working days will it take for the loan to be processed by the PF officials?

Regards, Dinesh.

Dear Dinesh,

First of all, an employee needs to have completed 5 years of service or be a member for 05 years under the EPF to be eligible for the PF loan. The person will receive a maximum of 85% of their EPF contribution, and they need to submit their daughter's education certificate (attested copy) along with a copy of the college selection/admission letter showing the fee structure on the college letterhead.

Thank you.
