PF Withdrawal Limit For Medical Treatment: Are you also facing a medical emergency? If you need money immediately, you can withdraw money from your Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) account.
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) allows its members to withdraw money to deal with expenses like medical emergency, house construction, marriage, education, home loan etc.
What is Employees Provident Fund (EPF)?
Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a retirement saving scheme. In this, a part of the salaried employees is deposited in EPFO ​​every month. Employers also contribute to this fund. This deposited money is given to the employees at the time of retirement. By then it becomes a big fund. EPF can be used even during the job.
Limit for withdrawing money from PF for medical emergency
EPFO members can withdraw up to Rs 1 lakh in case of hospitalization in a medical emergency or life-threatening situation. Earlier, this amount could be withdrawn on the basis of the estimate given by the hospital. Now its limit has been kept at Rs 1 lakh. A member’s 6 months’ basic and dearness allowance (DA) or the member’s contribution and interest received on it, whichever is less, can be withdrawn.
