Wish to withdraw your EPF money but aren't sure of the process? Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process online.
Ever found yourself in a spot where you needed to withdraw your EPF money but didn't know how? Since January 2021, EPFO has enabled users to withdraw their funds directly from their phones. All you need to do is follow a few simple steps, and you'll have your money in no time.
There are a few conditions that allow for partial or full withdrawals from your EPF account. These include paying for a house purchase, home construction, education, marriage, medical expenses, and more.
Let's look at the step-by-step process to withdraw your EPF money online:
1. Link your Aadhar and UAN: Unlike before, you can now withdraw your EPF money without visiting a branch. However, you will need an active UAN and should have your Aadhar details linked to your profile.
2. Choose the withdrawal type: Next, you can apply for a partial or full withdrawal based on the specific reason (house, marriage, medical, etc.). You will need to select the appropriate option from the dropdown menu.
3. Fill in the bank details: To withdraw money from your EPF account, you will require an active bank account. Once you have filled in your bank account details, make sure to verify them to proceed.
4. OTP and confirmation: Once you have filled in the necessary information, you will need to verify your request with an OTP. This will be sent to your registered mobile number via SMS.
After this, your application will be processed, and you will need to wait a few days before your application is approved.
Remember, only apply for a withdrawal when necessary. Your EPF account is designed to support you financially upon retirement. Ensure you consider the long-term benefits of your savings before making any decisions.
The online process is a more convenient way to access your funds quickly, especially in times of need. With the step-by-step guide above, you'll be able to navigate the process effortlessly.
As technology and the world rapidly advance, we continue to see the importance of digitalisation in simplifying our life challenges.
