Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), the retirement body which runs Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) and Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS), allows its members to make partial withdrawal from their EPF account or take advance under certain conditions.
EPF withdrawal claims can be filed both online and offline. If you are doing it offline, then you have to fill the Composite Claim Form (CCF) and submit it to the nodal EPFO office. But if you want to do it online it can be done through EPFO’s unified portal – unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in.
Partial withdrawal from EPF account is allowed for purposes like purchase/construction of house, land purchase, repayment of loan, non-receipt of wage for two months, marriage of self/daughter/son/brother, for medical treatment of family members etc.
