Hi Shikha,
Non Refundable withdrwal can be made if you have completed 5 years contribution to the scheme and have min. Rs. 1000.00 balance in your PF Accunts.
amount will be avialable for withdrawal is equal to the 24 months Basic Wages (i.e. P.F. Wages) or equal to the cost of house which ever is less.
futher you can refer para 68 of the P.F. Act.
