Queries related to EPF

POSTED BY Biswajit Pal ON June 10, 2013 12:30 pm COMMENTS (38)

Hi

Below are my queries:

Job 1: Company A – period 2 years ( June’06- June’08) –Maintained by EPFO           Transferred to Job2

Job 2: Company B – period 2.1 years (July’08-Aug’10)–  Maintained by EPFO        Transferred to Job3

 

Job 3: Company C– period 2.8 years (Sep’08-May’13)– Maintained by EPF Trust

 

1. What will be my total service period based on EPF definition? Is it 6.9 years or 4.1 years as in company C the PF fund is maintained by EPF trust

2. If I withdraw my PF money will it be taxable or non-taxable?

3. I am planning to buy an apartment by mid of 2016 after completing  10 years in my career. Say I bought an apartment costing 50 lakhs. Now as per bank home loan rule I could take a loan of    maximum of 80% of the price. So can I pay the rest 20% by withdrawing the PF money at that time?

Thanks in advance for your help and waiting eagerly for your reply.

Regards

Biswajit

    Dear Sir,

    An employee has attained 58 years of age. Now he doesn’t want to contribute and wants to withdraw his money. Can we discontinue his EPF contribution and on which grounds? What are the rules?
    Rgds

    1. One can not stop this regular EPF contributions which is going by default. However on retirement , one can withdraw this EPF fully

      One can also withdraw from EPS, only if its not 10 yrs old ,otherwise its compulsory to get the pension amount

    No contact with company n any employee
    No salry.
    Even PF also not getting.
    PF office person says not authorized by employer.
    N this company is complete close.
    No contact person, no any support getting regarding EPF.even I 4 times submit my PF form to delhi PF office but not successful yet.
    So how can I get my PF amount.

    1. You should get in touch with EPFO department now.

      I suggest use RTI as the tool

  15. Birendra says:

    An employee is fired for some reason by his boss. The employee goes to court and after 4 years wins the case in his favour. Now the employer has to pay his salary for the 4 years’. How to deposit the EPF contribution in this case. Since nowadays one has to make a csv file and pay online, how to make a proper uploadable file in this case.

    Kindly suggest

    1. We have no idea on that

  16. Anand says:

    I accidentally inputted the wrong PF a/c number in the website listed above and downloaded the e-passbook. It turned out to be someone else PF passbook. I immediately closed the window. But now i am unable to download my e- passbook. Also the e – passbook history shows that i downloaded the passbook. I used my aadhar card for registration. I registered under UAN after that. What should i do to rectify this issue?

  17. Jyoti says:

    Can my employer reduce the contribution (mine & theirs) towards EPFO account at their own discretion without intimation?

    1. Yes, they can do that if its as per rules defined by EPFO

  18. Dear Biswajit, please read your PF trusts’ rule book to know the answers for your query. the reason is, there may be a deviation for the amount you are eligible for under EPFO & under your PF trust.

    thanks

    Hi Nageshwar

    Thanks for the info and suggestions :)…. I have one more follow up query which is mentioned below

    Can you provide the details of the loan from EPF for buying an apartment? Some pointers like – what is the Permissible Limit , Eligibility ,Repayment Period , rate of interests and whom I need to contact to avail that.

    Thanks again for your help and looking forward for your reply.

    Please find my views..

    1. When job1 & Job2 are transferred successfully means, total service period is 6.9 years.

    2. Do not withdraw EPF amount.

    3. Do not withdraw EPF amount. If you require money, you can take loan on your EPF amount. If are going to retire from your job, then you can withdraw
