Hi Madhu,
I worked for an organization from July 05 - May 07. i would like to withdraw PF now.
Will it be taxable?
I heard that if we have not completed 5yrs with that PF account, there will be 33% tax on withdrawal amount.

If the PF is administered by EPF Organisation, then it is non taxable even if it is withdrawn before five years. However, depending upon the trust rules , the amount held in private trust may become taxable if withdrawn before a specific period, ie, five years. However, the Income Tax department has put an objection to the EPF Organisation for not making the withdrawal before five years taxable.

Sorry, I didn't get you. PF asked all 'practitioners' to settle accounts .....and in failure....no 'tax' will be paid....?
There was a circular stating that if an account remains inoperative for more than 3 years, then no interest will be paid to that account for such period exceeding 36 months( 3 years). Is it that you meant?

The circular is in force. Therefore, if any PF account is remaining inoperative for three years, please do withdraw the PF accumulations and if required collect a scheme certificate for the Pension Fund. Naturally, if you had worked in the organisation for at least 10 years, you can not withdraw the Pension Fund and in such situation you have to go for Scheme Certificate only.

Hi,
I worked in a company from May 07 to Aug 11 & currently employed elsewhere.
Q-1 : If I go ahead & withdraw my PF, will it be taxable.?
The last company is Genpact, which may or may not have deposited the sum in EPFO.
Q-2: If "Y" for Q1, My salary component for which I have already paid Taxes, why the withdrawal be taxable?
Appreciate your help in advance.
