        • Dear vijay,
          You can apply for partial withdrawal through EPFO member portal.
          No documents need to be submitted.

          “For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, the least of 6 months basic wages (or) employee share with interest is allowed as partial withdrawal.””

          Related article : Online EPF withdrawal process..

      • Dear TNReddy,
        I have observed some EPF members making partial claims for medical treatment back to back, but EPFO may reject claims after 3 to 5 consecutive online claims (in a FY).

        • Thanks for your valuable inf.

    Regarding EPS transfer, you may kindly go through this article @ What happens to EPS on Transfer of EPF account (or) when you switch Jobs?

• Sir,
  If I take advance from PF for treatment of my mother then -
  1. Should I need to submit Doctor's certificate?

  2. Should I need to repay the amount?

  3. My Employee share of Previous Company is Rs. 41329 & Present Company is Rs. 6602, I also transfer whole amount from previous to present Company and My current basis Salary is Rs. 9481, then how much amount I will get for treatment of my mother.

  Please inform me.

  Thanking you.

  • Dear Bivash,
    As per the EPFO's notification, there is no need to submit any documentary evidence. And there is no need to repay the advance amount.
    But, have noticed that EPFO has asked for documentary evidence if the Partial claims are submitted often.

    "For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, the least of 6 months basic wages (or) employee share with interest is allowed as partial withdrawal.”"

    • Sorry to say I don't understand the meaning of "But, have noticed that EPFO has asked for documentary evidence if the Partial claims are submitted often." - according to your reply, please elaborate what is the difference between partial claims and advance.

      • Dear Bivash,
        If an EPF member claims advance too often, I have noticed EPFO (may) asking for documents (ex : Medical certificate)..

        Advance or partial claim, both are one and the same..

        • Thank you

• Hi,
  Why it is called advance withdrawal would it will be recovered in future,
  How it would be if we are changing the organisation just after withdrawal and is it affects the pension eligibility criteria of anyone.
  What's the criteria of being eligible for pension.

  • Dear Anil,
    The partial withdrawals are not recovered.
    Pension is payable if service period is more than 10 years.
