Sir,

One of our employees was terminated in 2014, and the matter is pending with the labor court. He has approached us for the withdrawal of an advance under para 68K for marriage purposes. Is he eligible for this withdrawal? Our view is that the member should submit his form under para 69, i.e., full withdrawal of PF.
