Withdrawing money from your Provident Fund (PF) account is a straightforward process, especially for members of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) who have completed their e-nomination. Besides full withdrawals, you can also claim advances or apply for a pension.
Two convenient online methods are available for withdrawing your PF money: via the official EPFO website or through the UMANG app. The UMANG app simplifies the process, allowing you to manage your PF account directly from your mobile device.
Before proceeding, make sure you meet the eligibility criteria and understand the conditions for PF withdrawal. Here’s how to withdraw your PF money using the UMANG app:
Steps to Withdraw PF Money via the UMANG App
