After five years of continuous service, you can withdraw any percentage of your PF balance as long as you are still unemployed. But there are things to think about in terms of taxes:
Complete Withdrawal with No TDS: After five years of continuous employment, if you withdraw your entire PF corpus (employee contribution + employer contribution + interest) and you don’t find another job, there won’t be any Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applied. This indicates that there are no source-level tax deductions and you receive the entire amount.
Partial Withdrawal with Potential TDS: In the event that, despite continuing to be unemployed for five years, you make a partial withdrawal.
The completion of five years of service does not grant the right to withdraw a certain percentage of PF balance. After five years, the amount you can withdraw will depend on your circumstances:
Resignation: After a two-month waiting period, you can withdraw your whole PF balance (employer and employee contributions plus interest) if you quit after five years.
