There are legal ways to withdraw your Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) money. Here are the general guidelines:
You can withdraw your EPF amount under certain conditions. These include leaving your job, retirement, illness, or for specific purposes like house purchase.
This is the faster method. You'll need your Universal Account Number (UAN) and login to the EPFO member portal.
Visit your local EPFO office and submit a completed Composite Claim Form (Aadhaar or Non-Aadhaar) along with required documents.
Always ensure your KYC details are updated on the EPFO portal for a smooth online claim process.
There are different forms for various withdrawal scenarios. Choose the appropriate one based on your reason for withdrawal (e.g., Form 19 for full settlement).
If you need further assistance, it's recommended to consult the EPFO website or contact their helpline for specific guidance on your situation.
