Explain that due to lack of cash due to corona virus epidemic, EPFO ​​has given exemption to EPF account holders to withdraw a certain amount from their account. After the first phase of the nationwide lockdown was announced, it was announced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. For this, the government had simplified the rules of EPFO, so that any person can withdraw from his account if needed. The term of this facility given by the government expired on 30 June 2020.



According to the EPF rules, a member could withdraw 75% of the total amount deposited during the job, or three months basic salary and dearness allowance. Whatever amount of this would be minimum, it would have been allowed to withdraw them. If the person remains unemployed for more than two months, then he can withdraw the entire amount from the PF account.

Let us tell you, the interest rate offered by EPFO ​​on PF was 8.65 percent, which was reduced to 8.50 percent in March 2020.
