Hi,
Around 3 months back, I left my employer, and on my last day, I had completed 4 years, 11 months, and 14 days in that organization. As I moved to a government organization, I need to withdraw my EPF. So I have a few queries if someone can help me out:
1. As I have not completed 5 years (heard that if tenure is 5 years, then no deductions are done in case of withdrawal) by the last day in the organization, would the complete amount be provided to me, or some deductions will be done when the amount is withdrawn? If yes, then how much?
2. As you can see, I was just 15 days short of completing 5 years, so the time (past 3 months) will also be included in the tenure and help me complete the 5-year duration?
3. What is the time duration until which I can keep money in my EPF and still get the interest getting paid to me?
4. Suppose I decide to keep my amount in my EPF account (do not withdraw) for around 2 years, and in the meantime, my previous organization shuts down, then does it somehow risk my contribution to EPF, or will that remain secured?
Thanks, Himanshu Dabas

Dear Mr. Himanshu Dabas,
1. If the service is below 5 years, Income Tax is applicable on PF/Pension fund withdrawal. To avoid IT deduction, you may transfer the service to club with future services.
2. I am not clear on the 2nd point.
3. After relieving from PF service, you will get interest for 36 months further.
4. Kindly contact the Sub-Regional PF Office.
