NEW DELHI: The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is offering an online service to withdraw your provident fund (PF) account balance. The single page composite claim form replaces multiple other claim forms like Form 19, Form 10C, Form 31, etc that were in use earlier. The EPFO earlier had three withdrawal forms - Form 19 for final PF settlement, Form 10C for pension withdrawal and Form 31 for non-refundable PF advance. You can withdraw your PF balance for buying a house, land or even for setting off home loan. You are also allowed to withdraw your PF balance a year before retirement.
