EPFO warns against misusing PF funds, allowing withdrawals only for specific reasons like retirement or medical emergencies.
The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) warns PF account holders against using funds for unauthorized purposes like luxury purchases or vacations, stressing that withdrawals are only allowed for specific reasons such as retirement, home purchase, medical emergencies, education, or marriage.
Misusing funds may lead to recovery of the amount plus penalty interest and block future withdrawals for up to three years.
EPFO emphasizes that PF savings are meant for long-term financial security and urges responsible use.
Online claims are available for eligible members with verified details, and in June 2025, the auto-settlement limit for advances was increased to Rs 5 lakh.
EPFO advierte contra el uso indebido de los fondos de PF, permitiendo retiros solo por razones específicas como la jubilación o emergencias médicas.
