PF Taxation

POSTED BY Matter ON July 29, 2013 5:09 pm COMMENTS (2)

Hi,

This is my third company. I have two PF accounts at two different previous companies. One is more than five years old and the other account is two years old. I want to withdraw both my PF accounts. Do I have to pay any tax on these? Please also note that I was jobless for six months prior to joining current company.

Please point some useful inlinks in this regard.

    For the first and second company you can withdraw PF tax free as the combined tenure in both the companies is more than 5 years.

    However, I would suggest you to consolidate your PF into your third company as it is an excellent tax free secure form of retirement saving.
