Now you can withdraw one lakh rupees from your EPF advance PF balance. You can withdraw this money in case of any medical emergency. The government has launched a new service to address the sudden need for people’s money due to the coronavirus.
The EPFO issued a circular on June 1 that employees can be withdrawn for medical advance up to Rs 1 lakh. With the exception of the corona virus, money from PF can be withdrawn from other diseases after being hospitalized in an emergency. You don’t have to pay any bills. All you have to do is apply and the money will be transferred to your account. This facility is different from the medical advance service.
