The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has recently issued a notification regarding the new format and declaration procedure of new Form 15G & Form 15H. The revised procedure has been made effective from the 1st October, 2015.
Tax payers seeking non deduction of tax from certain incomes are required to file a self declaration in Form No. 15G or Form No.15H as per the provisions of Section 197A of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
The tax payers can now generate and submit Form 15G/Form 15H online provided their banker created a link on their respective bank’s Internet Banking portal.
In this post, I have provided detailed step by step detailed instructions on how to fill Form 15G or Form 15H?
How to fill new Form 15G?
New Form 15G has two parts / sections;
Part 1 – This section is to be filled by the person (individual) who wants to claim certain ‘incomes’ without TDS.
Let us now go through each point of Part-1 of Form no 15G.
- 1 – Name of the individual who is making the declaration.
- 2 – PAN (Permanent Account Number) of the tax assessee. The declaration is treated as invalid if an individual fails to furnish his / her valid PAN.
- 3 – Status – Declaration can be furnished by an individual or a person (other than a company or a firm).
- 4 – The financial year to which the mentioned income pertains to.
- 5 – Residential status ie Resident Indian or NRI etc.,
- 6 to 14 – Your Address & contact details.
- 15 (a) – Mention ‘Yes‘ if assessed to tax under the provisions of Income-tax Act, 1961 for any of the assessment
year out of six assessment years preceding the year in which the declaration is filed. - 15 (b) – Mention latest Assessment Year for which Income Tax Return has been submitted and processed.
- 16 – Estimated income for which this declaration is made.
- 17 – Estimated total income of the P.Y. (Present / Financial Year) including the income mentioned in point no 16.
- 18 – In case any declaration(s) in Form No. 15G is filed before filing the new declaration during the Financial year, you have to mention the total number of such Form No. 15G filed along with the aggregate amount of income for which said declaration(s) have been filed.
- 19 – Mention the distinctive number of shares, account number of term deposit, recurring deposit, National Savings Schemes, life insurance policy number, employee code, etc.,
- Verify, declare and sign the form. (Kindly note that if you are submitting form 15G for this Financial year 2015-16 then Assessment year would be 2016-17)
Part 2 – This section is to be filled by the person / institution responsible for paying the income. Example can be a bank who pays ‘interest income’ on a depositor’s Fixed deposit.
How to fill new Form no. 15H?
Form 15H is for senior citizens who are 60 years or older and Form 15G is for everybody else. New Form 15H is also divided into two parts;
Part 1 – This section is to be filled by the Senior Citizen (individual) who wants to claim certain ‘incomes’ without TDS.
The details that needs to be furnished in new Form 15H are same as the one in new Form 15G except for the point no. 3, wherein you (senior citizen) need to provide your Date of Birth in the form.
Part 2 – This section is to be filled by the person / institution responsible for paying the income. Example can be a bank who pays ‘interest income’ on a depositor’s Fixed deposit.
If you require any assistance in completing new Form 15H / 15H declarations, kindly leave your comments or queries.
Latest News (04-June-2016) : With effective from 1st June, 2016, rental income has also been allowed to be included in the Form 15G/ 15H declarations. The scope of income that can be included in the above forms is as under:

Hi Sreekanth,
Can you please go through the below scenario and advice on my queries
I worked with a company based out of Chennai from Jul 2008 until May 2012 (Approx 3 Yrs and 11 Mths) , Later was on an onsite assignment from May 2012 till Dec 2015 Approx (3 Yrs and 8 Months) so no income in India and No PF contribution. Again was back to work in Chennai during Jan 2016 and resigned from the company in same month.
Since Feb 2016, I am working as a consultant / sole proprietor and have filed my tax for FY 2015-16 and for FY 2016-2017 it is yet to be completed.
I am in plan to withdraw my PF amount and have been asked to fill form 15G as well. can you please clarify on the below queries .
1. with the above case as the no of years of continuous active service of the PF account is less than 5 , will the accumulated pf amount approx 1,67,000 will be taxed ?
2. As of today, if claimed the withdrawal amount will be credited in to my account in the current Financial year 2017 – 2018 hence the AY should be filled as 2018-2019 in Form 15G or should this be current AY 2017 2018 – Kindly confirm.
3. As II am yet to file my Tax for AY 2017 -2018 (FY 2016-2017) , can the last assessment year be marked as AY 2016-2017.
4. with regard to the field 22 . Estimated total income from the source – I dont have such incomes – but got some interest credit in my savings account for the fund maintained through the year – should I be mentioning that here.
5. Please clarify on the estimated total income of the previous year field – should this be the approx income (Profit) i would be getting as a part of this Financial year FY 2017 – 2018 out of my consultancy work + amount in field (22) – correct me if i am wrong
Regards
Mithun
Dear Mithun,
1 – Kindly read : EPF Withdrawals & new TDS rules.
2 – AY would be 2018-19.
3 – If you are filing your taxes for AY 2017-18, suggest you to mention the same.
4 – Yes, you can include interest income as well.
5 – Estimates is fine..
Would appreciate your response to my query: My parents have been in the US since 2015 April as green card holders. In 2016 April, they sent their 15H filing to their bank in India. Do they have to file one this year, too? I have been reading on the internet that NRIs do not have to. Since, I am not sure, I have prepared the 15H papers (due soon). At the bottom of Page 1, of 15H, there is a Declaration, Verification that “I am resident in India within the meaning of section 6 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.” I have researched on the internet, but am not able to figure out whether US my green-card parents are Indian residents or not as per the Income Tax Act, 1961. The bank in India is not of much help. Can you help with some clarification on this matter?
Dear Sundari,
NRIs can not submit Form 15G/H. There is no need to submit these forms.
Dear Subramaniam
My 15H was not accepted by SBI as my pension exceeding Rs.300000/- .
As per manager’s version, if someone’s yearly income exceeds Rs.3 Lakh then he is not eligible to produce 15H to bank . The person can only claim refund from Income Tax department.
Please clarify the rules .
Thank you

Dear Deba Ji.. If there are tax deductions to be claimed and if the net taxable income falls below basic exemption limit then can submit Form 15H.
sir,i too had similar experience from some bank: my pension (2,95,000) plus FD INT (Apprx 90,000) exceeds 3 lacs..Since 15H has no column for 80c and 80d, TDS WAS DEDUCTED.Pleas advise how to give 80c and 80d to avoid tds this year, i will be very thankful to you
Dear BHASKARAN Ji ..Form 15H is submitted based on your projected income & assumed investments.
In case if you can not make investments for tax deduction, you can file ITR with TDS details but without tax deduction and calculate taxes (if any) accordingly.
sir, my investments u/s 80 c and 80 d approx.95000,so net income (Pension 2,95,000+FD int 90,000 less investments 95,000=2,90,000) is less than 3,00,000…My doubt is, in which column in 15 H should i mention 80c and 80d investments. I DONT FIND THE COLUMN TO MENTION THIS INVESTMENT.(Last year tds deducted, this year if you can kindly guide me, i will give 15H duly reflecting investments and avoid TDS.
KINDLY BEAR WITH ME FOR THE TROUBLE
THANKS AND WARM REGARDS
Dear BHASKARAN Ji ..You may mention the expected income as Rs 2.9 Lakh and TDS wont be deducted.
Hi Sudip,
Need your help. We could not file ITR for the account which my father was operating. He expired on 27th July 2014 since than we could not do so. Also he has few FD in SBI bank. Now same account has been transferred at my mother’s name who is 60+. For FD ‘s which my father opened with SBI bank, do I need to submit form 15G/15H? Shall I have to submit separate forms against all the 6 FD accounts of my father.
Looking forward for your responses.
Many thanks.
Jyoti
Dear Jyoti ..You can submit one Form 15H (signed by your mother) if its the same Bank.
Yes Sreekanth, bank is same for all the FD accounts. Also can you please let me know the procedure to file ITR for this account. Really appreciate your quick response.
Thanks,
Jyoti
Dear Jyoti,

Which ITR form to file?
Do I need to file my Tax return?
Hi
I have a query …..in filling the 15g
i get interest of 1800 on FD every month…and i work in a company and my salary account is in other bank
while filling this column..what should i fill..(should i just mention my interest income or i should mention my salary as well ?)
Estimated total income of the P.Y. in which income mentioned in column 16 to be included *
Dear kumar ..You need mention the total expected income (salary + interest income) in Col 17 and in Col 16 – expected interest income.
what is next after the form 15h has been filled and submitted.
My Mother a pensioner, having 4 nos. FDs in two separate banks. While submitting 15H in two separate bank in column no 16. Estimated Total income what she would write? If Q.1-FD interest earn in one particular bank+Estimated annual pension income? Q.2-FD interest earn in both banks+Estimated annual pension income? Q.3-In the column 17 Total no. Of 15H filed what she would write 2 or 1? Q.4-If column 15 & 17 aggregate amount of income would be same figure? Hope you will reply my queries. Thanks
Dear Sudip,
2 – Yes, you are correct.
3 – While filing 2nd Form 15H – the count is 2.
4 – 16 & 17 – yes.
Thank you sir for your prompt reply. From your article and your comments of others queries I get that in the column 16 & 17 the figure would be same, as it is the Total expected income from all FDs in different banks+income from other sources,Q.1- is it correct? But suppose if my mother had two nos FDs total amounting ₹ 600000/- in SBI and the total interest amount 45000/ she would get yearly from those FDs. So my Q.2- is while submitting 15H in SBI what figure she would write in the column 15(Estimated income for which this declaration is made) 600000/- or 45000/-? Q.3- For other bank FDs the column 15 would be change and 16 & 17 would remain same as SBI 15H. Is it correct?
Sir I understand that column 17(Details of form no. 15H other than this form filled for the previous year,if any) is related to previous year i.e 2016-2017 financial year. In the space under the column 17 (aggregate amount of income for which from no. 15H filled) will be previous year total interest income of all bank FDs+previous year yearly pension income+other income of previous year. Is it correct? Thanks
Dear Sudip,
I believe that it is number of forms in this FY ie 2017-18.
Dear Sudip ..You can declare it as Rs 60k, kindly note that it is an estimated income, so slight difference of figure is ok.
Thank you.
I have opened HUF Saving bank Account in one bank and there are few FD’s.
The interest FDS is estimated to be Rs. 50000/- FOR FY 2017-18
Some interest has also be accured by Saving Bank account. Rs. 5000/- FOR FY 2017-18
THERE IS NO OTHER INCOME.
I have never filed income tax return for this account
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I HAVE FILLED IS CORRECT ?
15 (a) – Mention ‘Yes‘ if assessed to tax under the provisions of Income-tax Act, 1961 for any of the assessment year out of six assessment years preceding the year in which the declaration is filed. NO
15 (b) – Mention latest Assessment Year for which Income Tax Return has been submitted and processed.
16 – Estimated income for which this declaration is made. 50000/-
17 – Estimated total income of the P.Y. (Present / Financial Year) including the income mentioned in point no 16. 5000/- + 50000 = 55000/-
18 – In case any declaration(s) in Form No. 15G is filed before filing the new declaration during the Financial year, you have to mention the total number of such Form No. 15G filed along with the aggregate amount of income for which said declaration(s) have been filed.

Can you please tell me when to submit form 15H ,
I have to submit this form against my fds to the bank, for 2017-2018 , so Do i have to submit it now in advance or at the end of the march 2018.
Dear BHARAT ..Ideally at the beginning of a Financial year.
Thank you sir.
I want to also ask you If bank has deducted TDS on fds even after submitting 15H form at the beginning of the financial year.Than what to do?
March end I realize that the TDS has been deducted saying that no form 15H has been submitted for last FY finished, but it is not the case my Mother who is above 60 yrs went and submitted this form to the bank and now the bank staff is different and they deducted the tax saying the same thing above.
How to go about this situation to get our TDS money back after all its all bank’s mistake.
Dear BHARAT,
She can file Income Tax return, declare income & TDS paid details and get Refund (if any).
Read: Misconceptions on TDS
I was in the process to do that online at the Income tax govt. website , but after registration I got stuck and don’t really know what type of declaration and how I should be making the declaration as there are different types of forms and section available.
Dear BHARAT ..Suggest you to consult a CA and file tax return.
Sir in 15H can I mention my pension’s amount? If it is required, then my monthly pension is Rs.13962. So my question is how can I calculate it?
Dear Mr Mukherjee..You can mention the total expected Pension in this FY 2017-18.

Hi Sreekanth,
I worked for a company in Hyderabad for 5.6 years. I moved to the US in June 2016. But haven’t filed tax for the current assessment year (2017-18). My question is regarding the following sections in 15g:
1. [16. Estimated Income for which the declaration is made]- What income amount should I enter here, Salary or PF?
2.[17. Estimated total income of the P.Y in which income mentioned in column 16 to be included] What should be the income amount here?

2.[16. Estimated total income of the P.Y in which income mentioned in column 15 to be included] What should be the income amount here?
3.[17. Details of income for which the declaration is filed] What should I mention.
Dear anupam,
1- For what are you submitting the Form 15g? If it is for bank deposit interest then its Interest income.
2 – Salary income (if any) + col 15 amount + other income, if any.
Dear reddy,
Regret to inform you that being a senior citigen(66yrs) it will be Form 15H instead of 15G.
So the column of 15H furnished below :
1. [15. Estimated Income for which the declaration is made]- What income amount should I enter here, Pension or Interest?
2.[16. Estimated total income of the P.Y in which income mentioned in column 15 to be included] What should be the income amount here?
3.[17. Details of income for which the declaration is filed] What should I mention.
Dear Kumar,
1 – PF
2 – Salary inc (if any) + PF + Other expected income (if any).
3 – PF details
Thank you Sreekanth! Appreciate your advice.
Any suggestion how to calculate the PF amount?
Dear Kumar ..You can check your EPF passbook or give missed call to know your EPF balance.
Hi Sreekanth Reddy,
I had worked in an organisation from 8th April 2015 to 3rd Jan 2017. My Fixed pay was 2,90,000 from Apr 2015 to May 2016. Then it was 3,88,500 from June 2016 to Jan 2017. Do I need to submit Form 15 G. If so, what are the details do I need to fill in that. I had no investments, no RD, no Insurance schemes etc except House rent and Sodexo contribution. Could you pls give me a detailed explanation on this. Thanks in advance.
Dear Fahad..If you are submitting this form for PF withdrawal, suggest you to submit Form 15G irrespective of your eligibility, as EPFO has been asking for this form from all applicants.
Hi Srikanth,
Thanks for the reply. I have one more doubt reg Form 15 G. I had no investments, no RD, no Insurance schemes etc except House rent and Sodexo contribution. So, what should I enter in Column 15 and 16 ?. Need some clarification this. Thanks.
Dear Fahad,
Col 15 – Your last tax assessment year.
Col 16 – estimated EPF withdrawal amount.
Col 17 – EPF withdrawal amount + any other income (Salary or interest on RD/FD/NSC etc). If other income is NIL. The amount in this col would be same as col 16 figure.
Thanks for the valuable information..
Hi Sreekanth,
I just need one information while filling FORM 15H in Estimated total income value how to calculate Interest rate earned on FD??
I mean i have 2 scenarios:
1st I have made FD on APRIL 2016 which got matured in MAR 2016 so it is apparent that i need to show interest earned as my income for FY 2016-17 and Assessment year 2017-18
2nd Scenario i had made a FD in APRIL 2016 which will get matured on SEPT 2017 so interest for that FD will be earned in SEPT 2017 so do i need to show that Full interest as income earned in FY2017-18? Or do i have to split the interest on Pro Rata Basis means APR2016 to MAR2017 and then APR2017 to SEPT 2017 in next FY’s FORM 15H?
Please clarify.
Thank you
Dear Pritesh,
It depends on whether you are following ‘accrual basis’ or total interest shown in FY in which FD matures.
Kindly read: FDs & RDs – Taxes
Thank you, Query has been resolved. Your Article on FD& RD is very impressive-detailed information has been provided.
My father need to fill form 15H, bank asked to put all income in the form 15H.
SBH bank asked him to fill Pension amount ( say X ) and FD interests (Y ) = Total SBH
Question 1 – is it right to fill pension amount as well along with FD interest or it should be just FD interest in that bank alone.
Now Karnataka bank where he holds couple of FD there as well:
if he fills Pension amount (X) + FD interest in karnataka bank (Z) = Total Karnataka
Question 2: will now he look wrong to IT department as in both banks he is adding X as pension amount and it should not overall look like 2X together from both banks.
Please help with clarifications here.
Dear Madhava,
1 – Yes, pension income is also treated as taxable income. So, need to include this.
2 – No, it wont be treated like that way.

3 – Yes. Else, you may have to first Consolidate the PF accounts and then apply for withdrawal from the latest EPF account.
4 – EPFO is asking for Form 15G from all the applicants. Click here to view sample filled Form 15G example.

i suppose that forms 15g/h are to be submitted every quarter-in Column 16 of the form one has to mention Estimated Total income for which that declaration is to be submitted -does it mean the estimated income in the particular quarter? Again Column 17 asks for Total income for the PY -are we to mention there the estimated total income of the whole financial year in which the amount shown in 16 is apart?
Dear PPRadhakrishnan ..One has to mention the total estimated income for the current Financial Year.
Hello Sreekanth,
My query is regarding withdrawal of Provident Fund. I worked for 4 years (June 2010 to May 2014) in one of the firm based in India and in June 2014 I moved abroad permanently. Now I am planning to withdraw the Provident Fund Amount ( Total 4 Lacs).

2. Can I avoid TDS deduction on my Provident Fund by submitting form 15G?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards,
Sharad
Dear Sharad,
1 – Yes, TDS is applicable.
2 – TDS can be avoided but the withdrawal amount is still subject to Taxes.

Dear Piyush,
1 – If you have joined a new organization and continuing with EPF scheme, then you can not withdraw PF balance, you have to transfer the old EPF a/c monies to the new PF a/c.

Dear Samina,
It does not make any difference in which account you open RD. The interest income from RD is taxable.
So, opt for RD which offers your higher interest rate.

Hello Srikanth Reddy,
I would need your suggestion very urgently. Kindly help me.
I would like to withdraw my PF before 5 years and I don’t have any investments also to mention in 15G. Could you please tell me how much the tax deduction will be on my PF amount 370000. Kindly suggest
Dear Srinath ..Kindly go through this article : EPF withdrawals & new TDS rules.
Also, kindly note that no tds does not mean no tax liability.
EPF balance if withdrawn before 5 years, is a taxable amount.
i submitted pf withdrawal form with form 15g but there is a mistake in filling years in form 15g so i want to know that there is a problem in withdrawal or not
Dear sonu ..If EPFO rejects the form then you may re-submit it.
I have deposits in SB I Dahisar inSenior Citizen savings Scheme. Hither to I used to give 15 H form to the bank As the interest income is more than Rs 10000/- I am 86 yrs old and my yearly income is less than Rs 500000/- once the form 15H is given at the beggining of F/Y what ever Deposits are made during that F /Y are automaticaly included by the bank in the form that is given at the begining of FY and no need of giving form 15H every time That was the procedureIn june 2016 I made further deposit in the same account. When the bank credited qtly interest to my a/c I found that they have deducted TDS and a new form 15 H was prepared by the bank for me and I was given acknowledgement and was told that every quarter this procedure will be adopted and I will have to file IT return and obtain the refund
Will you pl clarify.according to me this wrong interpretation. this procedure nullifies the use of Form15H
Dear Madhukar,
Submitting of Form 15G/H can be done at the beginning of the financial year and these forms are valid for one financial year. However, banks have to issue Quarterly TDS statements (if any) to the account holders.
Kindly ask your banker if your form 15Hs are valid for one year or not??
Hello Srikanth,
I have not no investments in Form 15G 22 field, do I need to fill PART II even if no investment mentioned. Please confirm.
Thanks,
Arj
Dear ARJ..not required.

If your expected income is below basic exemption limit in FY 2016-17, you can submit Form 15G.
But i have observed that most of the employers are asking for From 15Gs irrespective of the eligibility.

Hi Sreekanth,
How about other fields? are they ok?
Hi,
My friend is earning taxable income and he is paying tax too. Now he wants to withdraw his PF but he has not completed 5 years service in that particular company. As per new PF rules, TDS can be deductible if the person served less than 5 years and Form 15G/H can be submitted to avail TDS exclusion in this scenario. My question is whether he can submit form 15G for availing this benefit while PF withdrawal since he is earning taxable income. Kindly clarify
Dear Ram,
Ideally, he can not submit Form 15G.
But, looks like the EPFO/employer may ask for Form 15G irrespective of the eligibility.

Dear Sreenath,
Your articles are very helpful. Thank you for taking the time in educating people on delicate yet important matters like PF and investments.
I have the following question:
Scenario: I am currently serving notice period with my current IT employer where I have worked here for 9.7Y and my last date is Jul 30, 2016.
I want to withdraw my PF as I am going to be in need of a few Lakhs in the coming 2 m0nths.
However, my employer policy on PF withdrawal are as follows:
1) Migration to abroad
2) retirement at or after 58Y of age
3) Retirement due to permanent disability
Question:
1) Will I be able to withdraw my PF?
2) If yes, can I withdraw fully or partial?
3) If partial what % can I withdraw?
4) Should I attempt to withdraw my PF after leaving my current employer, directly thru EPF office?
5) Should I then need to create a new PF account with my new employer who I am going to join starting 1 Aug 2016?
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide to help my situation here.
Sincerely,
Sushant.
Dear Sushant,
As you are going to join new company and contribute to EPF scheme again, you HAVE to transfer your current EPF a/c monies to new EPF ac.
Once you transfer the funds, you can make partial withdrawals.

Dear Reddy, I have a salary of Rs. 3.10 Lacs. Can I fill 15G Form? All my deductions make the taxable income upto Rs. 2.50 Lacs.
Dear Mayank..Yes you can (assuming you do not have any other interest income above basic exemption limit).
Thank You for prompt reply. Consider the second case.
A person earns Interest of Rs. 20,000 from FD’s and his annual income is Rs. 4.5 Lacs and deductions of Rs. 1.80 Lacs. Can he fill 15G Form?
Dear Mayank ..No in this case.
Hi Shreekanth , after working for 5.5 years in a company I apllied for pf withdrawal in march 2016 but pf office has rejected my form saying that form 15G is required. As per the procedure if we withdraw our pf after 5 years then 15G is not required then why are they asking this ? I am in chennai and pf account is in Maharashtra pf office. I can’t even approach them directly. Please advice what to do ? If the 15G is mandatory then advice wat to fill in part 1. I don’t have any other income apart from salary , so shall I leave it blank ?
Dear Jamaludeen..Are you employed and contributing to EPF again now?
Yes, even I have noticed that EPFO has been asking for Form15G from all the employees who wish to withdraw PF. It is better you just submit the form 15G.
Are your KYC (UAN) details approved? If so you can submit the new EPF Withdrawal forms along with PAN card copy, cancelled cheque & Form15G (filled) to EPFO directly.
Thanks for ur info. Yes I’m working in another company and contributing to pf .
Dear Jamaludeen..In such a case, suggest you to TRANSFER your old PF money to new EPF a/c.

Dear Rahul..EPFO / employers are requesting for Form 15G along with the withdrawal forms (though in some cases it is not required). So suggest you to submit it.
Hi Sreekanth,
I am planning to withdraw my PF amount. Currently I am not working since July 2015 and don’t have plans to work further. I don’t have 5 years of service(2012-2015) and my pf amount is greater than 50,000. I got to know that I have to fill Form 15G for my PF withdrawal(Service 50,000). My only source of income for this financial year 2016-17 is my EPF Withdrawal.
1) In this case, by whom PART 2 in Form 15G will be filled?
2) Is it enough if I fill Part 1 alone and submit it in EPFO office along with other documents for my PF withdrawal?
Thanks in advance,
Sowmya
Dear Sowmya..You may leave it blank.
Hi Sreekanth,
I have 6+ years of experience with 3 IT Companies
a) 2008- 2009
b) 2009-2010
c) 2010-2014(Till 31 Dec)
I have 3 PF account numbers now and the first PF account is not transferred to 2nd or 3rd. But 2nd pf account is transferred to 3rd PF account.
I am planning to withdraw 2nd and 3rd PF balance from EPFO, RO Office.
1) In the above case, is TDS 10% applicable for my PF withdrawal? Do I need to Submit 15G to avoid tax?
2) In UAN based Form 10C, Date of Joining (DOJ) means Latest company DOJ or 2nd company DOJ as I am withdrawing 2nd & 3rd?
Thank you in advance. Please do the needful.
Kind Regards
Andy
Dear Andy,
If your total experience from 2009 to 2014 (2nd to 3rd) is 5 or above 5 years, no TDS is deductible. In your case Form 15G may not be applicable, however your employer may ask for one.
Are you currently employed and contributing to EPF scheme.
Kindly note that your first EPF ac (2008-09) would have become in-opearative one.

Thank you Sreekanth for the quick reply.
I have 5 years of experience in total just by clubbing my 2nd and 3rd company. I am not currently employed in India (from Jan 2015).
I also tried linking my old PF account number (1st company) in UAN. The only concern I have is, it is not displaying DOJ and DOE but rest of the details like my name and company name and PF number it is displayed with status as “Linked BY Memeber”.
1) Having said the above, Is my 1st PF account linked properly ? as it is not displaying the DOJ and DOE?
2) If 1st PF a/c is linked properly, then will one withdrawal is enough (using UAN based forms 10c,19 ) for all 3 PF amounts (at 3rd PF , EPFO, RO, PUNE office) ?
UAN linking with 3 PF accounts and statuses as follows
1) 3rd PF a/c one is linkedin BY employer and KYC verified by employer
2) 2nd PF a/c is linked by member but transferred successfully to 3rd PF a/c and the entry is also showing in my UAN a/c with amount.
3) 1st PF a/c is linked by member but transfer is not done. Still with EPFO, RO, Chennai.
Please suggest me the best way to withdraw as 31 JUL 2016 is the deadline for FULL PF withdrawal. I would like with draw ALL my PF accounts money (1st PF and 2,3rd PF amounts)
Best Regards
Andy

1 – Probably your ex-employer might not have shared the details (DOJ & Date of exit) with the EPFO.
2 – If you have not transferred the first PF funds then suggest you to consolidate all old PF accounts.Use One Employee – One EPF Account online facility, epfo will help you.
3 – Use above online facility.
Kindly note that the new withdrawal rules have been scrapped. There is no dead-line as such.
Thank you Sreekanth

Dear SAROJ..Yes you can submit form 15H.
Hi Sreekanth,
I was working in India from 2011 to march 2015 and then moved to middle east. Last month, i tried to withdraw my PF and went to submit the form 19C and 10C but the EPF officer did not accepted my from and was asking for form 15G. I understand that form 13G cannot be filled by NRI. I have following questions:
1. Can I fill form 15G?
2. If not, how much deduction will be made?
3. If i fill form 15G and mention residential status as NRI, would that be acceptable?
Thanks in advance
Dear Alam,
I agree with you and have also observed that employers & EPFO have been asking for Form 15G from almost everyone, even if they are receiving salaries which are more than the basic exemption limit (income tax slab).
Suggest you to submit Form 15G and do mention that you are an NRI.

Dear gowtham..Are you contributing to EPF or NPS Scheme now?
hello sir, I am a banker and quite confused in this regard.
Suppose somebody has an FDR maturing on 7/7/2016. His interest income from April 1 till July 7 is say 5000 Rs.
Now, in estimated column, do I need to mention Rs 5000? However I do not know if that person will renew his FDR on July 7. If that happens, his total income may become 20000 for an FDR till March 31, 2017. So what do I need to mention ? Sir.
Dear Sanamdeep,
You may have to get the information form the concerned person if he/she is willing to renew the FDR and accordingly provide the information in Form15G/H..

2. I did not take up any job till 31 march 2016
3. Only source of income was salary
4. I have FDs but maturity date is after 31 march 2016, and the FDs are of “yearly interest payout” types – so no interest was deposited in FD accounts till 31 march 2015
5. I did not receive any interest from shares/securitues/mutual funds etc.
6. My PF balance (Employer + Employee contribution) is approx 1.22 lakh
Please let me know if i need to tick any boxes in section 22.
Also let me know if estimated PF withdrawal amount is to be included along with salary income in section 23?

Dear Reddy,
I have worked in a private company for continuous six years and have resigned from the said company on 15 April 2016. The company told me to come and fill the form(s) by first week of July. My query is do i need to fill Form G15, will there be any tax deductions?
Dear Casey,
If the service is more than 5 years, there won’t be any TDS and your Pf withdrawal is tax-free.
Surprisingly, the EPFO has been asking for Form 15G from all the applicants even if the total PF withdrawal amount is more than say the basic exemption limit.
what is mean by (Point no-18) Details of Form no- 15 G other than this form filed during the previous year, If any….

Dear kumar..It depends on your other sources of income too for the given financial year. Suggest you to apply for PAN at the earliest, its better to have one.
In new Form 15H, with respect to current FY i.e., 2016-2017, does “previous year” in column 17 refer to 2015-2016 or 2016-2017?
Dear Shankar..Its the FY in which you are submitting the Form 15G/H (2016-17).
Thanks!!!
In estimating the income for the year while submitting form 15G, should we take into consideration the interest earned in PPFF account also? No withdrawal is anticipated.
Thanks in advance
Dear Sudha..If amount is not being withdrawn then I believe there is no need to include in the estimated income for a given FY.
One more thing ,. I heard if PF withdrawal is more than 3,00,000 then they wont accept 15g, any solution for this ?
Does this mean i wont get my pf money back ?

My annual income was >6L pa during 2015-16 assessment year and I left job in Feb’16 due to some personal reasons(4years 11M). Now I’m looking to withdraw my PF along with pension fund upon completion of 60days.
My UAN is updated with bank & PAN details. I understood after reading your comments that, I could use UAN updated forms of 19 & 10c.Am I right?
Do I need to complete form 15G? If yes, please let us know, till what income limit can apply 15G. Hope this helps many.
Regards,
Raju V
Dear Raju V,
I guess it is 2015-16 Financial Year?
Is Aadhaar number seeded to your UAN? If yes, you can submit new UAN based EPF withdrawal forms directly to th EPFO.
Form 15 G is required to be submitted, if your expected total income (including EPF withdrawal amount) is less than basic exemption limit and if the net total income (after tax deductions) is less than basic exemption limit.
But what has been observed is that, EPFO is asking for completed Form 15G from all the EPF subscribers along with the withdrawal claim forms.

Hence net income will become Rs.4.90 lakh. Being Super Senior, tax need not be paid upto Rs.5 lakh. Pls clarify whether she is eligible to file 15 H for non deduction of tax
Dear Sampath..You need to consider ‘gross income’ and not after tax deductions.
Dear Sir,
Do I have to add my other income (i.e Salary ) along with my FD interest, in column 17 Estimated total income of 15G form ?
Dear Prashant..Yes.
what if the deductor(bank) accepts form 15G/H from a customer whose interest income does not exceed 10000?
Dear shreya..Not an issue.

Dear Ankit,
16 – Rs 9,000.
17 – If you do not have any other income then Rs 9,000 Else Rs 9k + other income.
1. My mother aged 90 years is having fixed deposits in 3 different banks.
2. Her total expected income from all the FDs for the Current year(2016-17) is expected to be Rs. 6.3 lakhs.
3. Can she claim exemption from TDS on interest income by submitting forms 15 H to the banks. Because 6.3 lakhs is less than total exemption allowed to her – She being a Super Senior Citizen (Exempt income Rs. 5 Lakhs per year) and further deduction of Rs. 1.5 Lakhs under Chapter VI-A(She intends to save under sec. 80-C) .
4. Does she has to necessarily file IT return at the end of year. So far she has not been filing it.
Dear Sanjay,

Dear murari ..Financial Year would be FY 2016-17 and Assessment Year is 2017-18.
Sir,
I need yr expert guidance on the following :-
1. My mother aged 75 yrs (senior citizen) is having FDs in 3 banks separately. How much Tax rebate is she entitled for?
2. Since FDs are spread in 3 banks, do we need to declare total income of that particular bank or clubbing all the total income while submitting Form 15 H in 3 banks separately?
3. With the new 15 H form, will the income of a particular tax payer will be monitored centrally by Income TAX
4. How will a bank deduct TDS ? if we mention that it is below the specified limit whereas in actual it is crossing the specified limit, specially if the FDs are scattered in various banks? which bank will deduct TDS? or Income TAx will automaticallly deduct , the modus operandi in such case
5. What are other best options for a senior citizen to invest and save tax at this age ?
Your valuable expert advice is solicited
Thanking you in advance
Dear Kedar,
1 & 4 – The interest income earned on FDs is not tax-free. TDS on interest on FDs is liable to be deducted @ 10% by the Bank if interest income (paid or expected to be paid) exceeds Rs 10,000 in a Financial Year. This limit of Rs 10k is per bank branch and per individual.
2 – In field 17, you have to mention total expected income (from all FDs + any other sources).
3 – Possible.
5 – May I know the investment horizon? Also depends on the investment objectives & current financial profile.

What shouf i write for Nature of income. My dad has an FD for 1 year
Dear Karthik ..It’s interest income..
Kindly provide the govt circular on submitting 15H for the A.Y. 2017-18 which explains the conditions of submiiting such form as my deductee bank is asking for and without that they are unwilling to receive 15h.
If my gross income crosses Rs.3.00 lacs but after deduction it will be below 3.00 lacs.I am a senior citizen .Should i submit form no 15H?
Please read this —
“Conditions you must fulfill to submit Form 15H:
You are an individual
You must be a Resident Indian
You are 60 years old or will be 60 years old during the year for which you are submitting the form
Tax calculated on your Total Income is nil”
I also noted from elsewhere — There aare two conditions for 15G—-
1. Taxable income should be “nil”
2. Interest income should not exceed basic exemption limit.
But the banks deduct TDS, only if your interest income is more than 3,00,000.
Dear Anil..I believe that you may not be eligible to submit Form 15H.
Sir!
Do I need to fill 3 different Forms-15H for 3 Fixed Deposits in the same bank?
Pls.let me know that IF I got BANK FD,COMPANY FD & SENIOR CITIZEZ A/C in bank,So now how can i submitt how many total nos. & aggregate amount of income for which form-15H filed(Refer 17) duly specified for that particulars investment.
Equal to number of institutes you have deposits. Separate 15H for each.
Sir,
In the new Form 15h, in column 17,i have some doubts:
a)Whether the total income refers to taxable income or
b) Whether the total income refers to interest income only or
c) Whether the total income refers to the total income exceeding the excemption limit
because in the declaration i have to make the tax on the income————will be nil
and the receipient has to verify whether deductions under chapter VIA are available
First one — Income from the bank/institute you are submitting 15H
Second one — Total income from any sources, interest or any other.
Last one — Interest income from other banks/institutes excluding this one.
VIA need not be verified, it is only expected or just planned. By default deduction will be considered 150000.
Dear MAJUMDER ..Thank you so much for sharing your inputs and kindly keep visiting 🙂
Dear SRINIVASAN..It is total taxable income.
When we are submitting form no 15G/15H, to the bank , is it necessary only to write the estimated total income of interest in column no 15 of the particular bank only? or whether to write the whole interest portion of other banks also including the bank to whom we are submitting for no 15gor 15h?
Secondly under which section tax is deductible ? How to know this.? Income tax department has not provided such information to pan card holders.
Sir I possess F/D for long term part of which in MIS , then how I calculate the estimated income for col no 15 fo form no 15G , House wife , pl. guide me.

My pension income is Rs 270000 and fixed deposit income is about Rs 160000, Can I submit form 15 H.

If you are a seenior citizen then YES, otherwise NO.
Dear Mtiani..You may not be eligible to submit Form 15H.

Dear Pawan..It depends on your total income and looks like it is more than the basic exemption limit, hence you may not be eligible to submit Form 15G.

Hi Priya,
Normally Assessment year is one + year from the financial year. I,E if your financial year is 2015-16 the assessment year can be 2016–17 or 2017-18 any one you can use .
what to mention in nature of income and section under which the tax is deductible & also the amount of income for senior citizen
Dear Vishal,
Mention the distinctive number of shares, account number of term deposit, recurring deposit, National Savings Schemes, life insurance policy number, employee code, etc., Whether it is interest income/dividend income etc.,
In declaration, what should I write for relevant assessment year please?
Dear Suseela,
If you are submitting Form15G for Financial year 2016-17 then relevant assessment year would be 2017-18.
Yes you can write either 2017-18 or 2018-19. Better to write 2018-19.
Hi Sir,

Last year i submitted form 15G and i dont remember giving details about returns filed as we have never filed returns for my mom.
Could you please advise

in lieu of the foregoing pl guide me
1. whether the in come of parents received at my hands in loan ac. be treated as income.
2. Since they are very senior citizen they enjoy a it exemption of rs. 5l per f.y9thei annual fd innt incone is 96000 each p.a)
please guide me.
regards and tq
Dear ganeshvenkatachalam,
1 – If the source of income for these FDs are your parents’ income then we can treat the interest earned as their ‘income from other sources’. Suggest you to get PAN cards for them.
Tq Sir, money belongs to them. them only.Their income isonly intt. income as quoted above., which is well within the threshold limit. In that case obtention of pan card and submission return visa vis is necessary? in the above scenario these income received at my hands not treated as my income , i suppose and need not to be included in my returns. pl clarify.
thanks and regards
Sir, I am a pension holder, having one FD in bank. My question is Sl.No. 16 to 19 of 15G form. What amount should be filled it is the principal amt or interest received ?
Dear Fernandes..If it is for FDs, you can provide the interest income only. Do you have income from any other sources?
Dear sir,
I worked in company for one year from 2012 to 2013. I want to withdraw my pf now. My doubt is what I should write in column 16? Is it the whole pf amount or only the interest earned on it??
Also what I shoild write in Cl. 17?
tia
Dear Bhanwar,
If its more than 3 years, your EPF a/c would have become in-operative..Read : Inoperative EPF a/c helpdesk..
I believe that it’s total amount.
17 – Total estimated income for FY 2015-16 (including Pf amount + income from any other sources).
I am 71 years old senior citizen. I have FD in Bank A, Bank B,and Bank C. Next month I shall have to submit Form 15 H to all the three Bank separately. Last year April 2015 I submitted 15 H to all the three Banks separately. One FD in Bank C matured on 10th Jan 2016 and reinvested for another two years. Last April 2015 according to 15H my estimated income was Rs 36075/- from Bank C.Next April 2016 my estimated income from Bank C will be Rs 36290/-.This estimated income include FDs shown in 15 H submitted last year ie April 2015. Under the above condition would you kindly advise me how to fill up column 15,16,17 and 18 of new form 15H.
Dear Satya,
15 – The respective estimated income for which you are filing your Form 15H.
16 – Total expected income (all FDs’ interest income + other sources of income, if any)
17 – Self-explanatory
18 – Kindly provide details about your FDs for which you are making the declaration.
Dear Sir,
I am very grateful for your early reply, still I have some doubt.would you please clear my doubt.In column 15 I shall have to write the estimated income from the declared FDs which I have mentioned in column 18.The FDs which I have mentioned in column 18 are same FDs which are contiuining from last 5 years. Whenever matured the same re invested for another.two years.In column 16 I shall have to write estimated income of PY ie 2015 -2016.+income mentioned in column 15.for 2016 – 2017. . In this case my income will be shown double.which is confusing or it will be same income which is shown as estimated income for 2016-2017 .In column 17 details of 15H other then this. Does it mean the 15H which I have submitted time to time after renewal and reinvestment time of my previous FDs. awaiting for your early reply.faithfully,
Dear Satya,
If say the income is Rs 1 Lakh which is shown in column 15 and you do not have any other source of income, then you need to mention the same (Rs 1 Lakh) amount in column 16 as well.
Sir,
Please tell me how to apply the (1) point no.18 (Nature of income), Amount of Income, (2) Estimated income for which this declaration is made (3) Estimated total income of the P.Y
for loan given to any Individual or Firm what is to be filled in place of identification no. column no.18 & in place of Unique identification number (UIN) kindly clarify the doubt
Regards
(Dinesh Jain)
Dear DINESH..I think you can provide loan account number.
Whether 15H has to submitted in the parent branch only (where we hold account) or can it be submitted in any branch of the bank?
Spoke to my bank (ICICI) on this..they say it has to be submitted at parent branch only…
Dear Malli..Yes, most of the banks do ask to submit at home branches only.

Dear ASHWINI,

19 – Depends on the type of investments/withdrawals.

Hi,
I have one concern. By mistake i submitted form 15H instead of 15G.the bank deducted my TDS as i am not a senior citizen and should have submitted Form 15G. Is there any way to rectify this?
Dear abhilasha..You can claim refund (if any) by filing your Income Tax Return. Suggest you to submit a fresh Form 15G to you banker.
Dear Sreekanth,
Really helpful article. Thanks for that.
I worked as a consultant for singapore based company on a contract from june to september and converted to its Indian entity from october. My total income with the company till date is 3.35 L (1.75 lakhs as Independent consultant getting paid from singapore and 1.6L from its Indian entity) and I’m leaving this company now and my employer asked to fill form 15G. As my income won’t cross the limit they are asking me to do that to show my future employers why TDS has not deducted from my salary.
Do I need to really the form ? I’ll have overall income for this financial year (Apr 2015- Mar 2016) is 4.2 L. Please let me know what will be use if I fill the form.
Dear Krishna,
As a resident Indian, I believe that your income is more than the basic exemption limit, so Form 15G may not be applicable in your case. Kindly re-check with them again.
Hi Srikanth,
Thanks for your response. If its 2 L, my over all income for the year Apr 2015-Mar 2016. Do I need to fill the form ?
Thanks
Krishna
Dear Krishna..You can submit Form 15G in such a scenario.
Hi if the field no 15 is marked as no do I need to fill up field 16,17,18,19,20
Dear neeraja..The mentioned fields are relevant for this FY 2015-16. Fields 16 & 17 you have to provide.
Hi Sreekanth, I worked for a company for 2 and a half years and quit in august 2015. So basically i have worked for 4 months in the new financial year April-July 2015. Total Income received by me was 3,58,000/- . (TDS deducted was 60,000) However, i have not been employed ever since and in all probability, i shall claim a refund for this 60000 as well since i do not fall in the tax bracket as i am fulfilling 1,50,000/- under section 80C
My question is
1) Exception as per IT is 250000 and another 1,50,000 under section 80c. So if i consider that, i am not liable to pay tax for which i have to submit form 15 while claiming EPF proceeds. Should i subit forg 15g?
2)Can i with draw pension amount also
Please note i am UAN registered any KYC and bank details are reflecting on UAN website verified by employer.
Please advise
Ashwin 98852941**
Dear ashwin,
1 – Your total income is > basic exemption limit, no need to submit Form 15g (but i have observed that EPFO is asking for From 15Gs from everyone).
2 – Yes.
Read : “Now claim EPF withdrawals without the employer’s attestation..”
Hi,
I moved to UAE in Aug’15 and left the company where I was working for 2 years and 9 months. So, the taxable income in last year would be my 5 months salary ie. from Apr to aug’15, right?
Also, the sections in Form 15 G ie Schedule I to Schedule V, I didn’t have any shares, securities or mutual funds on my name and I am a regular tax payer. What should be mentioned in these sections then?
The Part II of the Form is filled by the employer?
I also checked that I am NRI from the calculator.
Thanks for your help. The article is really informative.
Dear Kanika,
1- Yes.
2 – Nil.
3 – Yes.
Keep visiting 🙂
Thanks!!
So, the total income that I have to mention in the form is of last year or for the whole period I had worked in the company.
Dear Kanika..For the financial year in which you are submitting form 15g . If you are submitting now, it is FY 2015-16.
Hi,
I have worked in my company for 2 years 11 months and my net accumulated PF amount is approximately 45,000. Sir, it has not been 5 years yet , I am willing to withdraw my PF but as my Employee is not supporting me regarding this issue so I am going by your article “new-epf-withdrawal-forms-employer-signature-not-required”.
Sir, FORM19(UAN), FORM10C(UAN) AND FORM31(UAN) are very easy to fill but what about FORM 15G It requires the approval of my previous employee?????
And can all these FORMS be sent by post to Regional PF office??
Is there any other option. Kindly help me
Dear Sandip,
I believe that employer’s sign is not required on Form 15G.
Are you currently employed?
Yes, as of now one needs to send the forms by post.
I am filling 15G for PF withdrawal. In that what do I have to mention in Income for financial year? Is it Salary drawn+FD Interest or is it Salary drawn + FD interest + amount of PF to be withdrawn.
Please suggest

I have no idea how to fill it also I dont have any FD,saving or share or other income.only one LIC which I am paying around 7000 rs per year. please help me.
Dear Dheeraj..Suggest you transfer your old epf monies to your new one.
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your suggestion but due to some financial issue with me, I have need to withdraw this amount. kindly help me..
Your article really helps a lot in filling this form. I have a few doubts.
1) I have left my previous company during June 2014. But, I’m closing it this year only. So, what would be my A.Y and P.Y? What should I fill in the Section 4 and the assessment year in the declaration part?
2) The previous company is asking me to fill the Form 15g even though the total income will exceed 2,50,000. In that case shall I put the actual taxable total income in the Section 17?
3) I haven’t filled any form 15g forms earlier. So, can I leave Section 18 and 19 blank?
Thank you so much for sharing good information. Hope you will answer my queries.
Awaiting your replies.
Dear Gomathi,
If you are applying for withdrawal now, AY is 2016-17 & PY is 2015-16.
Actually form 15 G is not to be submitted if projected income is above basic limit. But strangely most of the employers / EPFO is taking form 15g from all the applicants.
3 – Yes.
Thanks for your response. Yes, my previous company is also forcing me to submit those forms. So, is it fine if I mention the actual total taxable income itself in the Section 17? If so, what about the declaration part where I declare the taxable income as nil?
Dear Gomathi,.It is better to declare actual projected income.
Sir.
I worked in a company from sept 2011 to sept 2014. I want to final withdraw epf.
From oct 2014 onward I am not working in any firm / company and my salay is nil & I have no FD etc.

Kidly suggest me what should fill in the fieild 15, 16 & 17of form 15g.
Thanks
Dear Vinay..kindly go through above article. For which year Form=16 was not issued? Was your income above the basic exemption limit?
Sir,
For FY 2014-15 my income was under Rs. 2.5 lakas but employer paid advance tax in first 3 quarters to income tax and form 16 for the above period was not issued.
Dear Vinay..Did you file ITR for FY 2014-15?
Hello Shreekanth,
I was working with a company in India for 2.5 years and resigned in June 2015. I am not working since then. I have few FDs in my name created post April 2015. I have queries regarding fields 16 and 17. In field 16 “Estimated income for which this declaration is made ” , should I mention the salary earned from april 2015 till june 2015 (for which TDS has already been deducted by my employer) + interest on FDs that I will earn in this FY? OR should it be just the interest on FD and the PF earned during April 2015-June 2015?
For field 17, “Estimated total income of the P.Y. in which income mentioned in column 16 to be included”, what should be filled? Is it the income earned last year(as per the income tax returns filed for PY) or just the PF ? What is the meaning of income mentioned in column 16 to be included?
Thanks for your help
Dear Neha,
Yes, you need to add salary earned + interest on FDs for FY 2015-16.
It is for FY 2015-16.
Dear Sreekanth,
I worked for a company for 2 years & 8 months and resigned on Sept 2014 and weeks back i submitted my PF withdrwal form 19 & 10C but now due to new laws ,my employer asked me to submit 2 original sets of FORM 15G along with a Declaration letter addressing the “Regional Profident Fund Commissioner Office,Bandra” as per following details communicated in employer mail:
>You are requested to mandatorily mention your estimated taxable income for current financial year(2015-2016) in point no :23
> If point no:23 on FORM 15G is not applicable ,you will have to attach a declaration letter addressing the “Regional Profident Fund Commissioner Office,Bandra” that you have no objection in RPFC deducting tax at the rate of 10% on the PF accumulation.
Queries:
1)Kindly need more clarity on the above points and also what exactly should i need to write in the declaration letter?Will my PF attract tax deduction of 10%?

Dear Jay,
Is your UAN activated? If your UAN is seeded with Aadhar no and bank account, you can now directly submit your withdrawal claim to EPFO.
Read : New withdrawal forms & procedure.
Kindly read my article on : EPF withdrawals & TDS rules for more info on whether TDS is applicable or not in your case.
2 – Kindly mention the EPF withdrawal amount as your expected income for FY 2015-16.
3 – Was your income above basic exemption limit?
4 – Your employer.
5 – You can find it in your form-16, it is related to your Employer.
For rest of the points kindly go through the article.

Hello,
I have worked for a company for 2 years. Now I want to withdraw my my PF.
My PF amount is 1.5 Lac.
I do not have any income to declare under Form 15G. For e.g. Income from sources is nil.
Still do I need to submit Form 15G ?
If yes, the what should I fill into the section of Estimated total income from the sources?
Thanks and your reply would be appreciated.
Dear Jasmin,
Form 15G is for avoiding TDS, if you do not have any income or your income is less than basic exemption limit as per IT Act.
You can mention the PF amount as your income.
Thanks for a reply.
I have joined other company.
So do I need to mention the income from other company which means my salary?
The form does not have a section to mention the income from salary.
I do not have any income from the 4 sources which are mentioned in the Form.
Pls advice, as it is too much confusing…
Dear Jasmin,
If you have joined a new company, ideally you should not withdraw your EPF amount. Suggest you to transfer it to you new account. You may do this ONLINE.

18- This I the first time I am filling Form 15G

Dear SIVAKUMAR,
Kindly check your NRI status using this ‘NRI Status check calculator‘. I have also provided information on NRIs & taxation rules in this article.
If you do not have any other income and if your income below basic exemption limit for FY 2015-16, you can submit From 15G.
16 – No, it is your total expected income for FY 2015-16.
17 – Not required
Sir thanks for ur reply.
I checked the NRI calculator, it says I am a “Resident”
Do I still need to fill form 15G for PF withdrawal.
Field – 16 – Total expected income means – I worked only for 3 months (Apr-15, May-1, June-15) in this current FY before I shift to Dubai. So I should show only my salary earned in india. my monthly CTC in those 3 months is around 2.3 lacs
I don have any income apart from salary
sorry 2.3 lacs for 3 month (79000 / month)
Dear SIVAKUMAR,
You can submit form 15g if your expected income in this FY is less than basic exemption limit.
3 months salary + income from any other sources (like dividends, FD interest income etc).
I need complete filled form-15G , it means sample .

Dear Ganesh..The person or institution responsible for deducting TDS has to fill the PART II, in this case it is EPFO.

Dear Subramaniam,
Nature of income is “income from other sources” & Section would be Section 194A of IT act.
