In a major decision to improve the ease of living for employees, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has allowed members to withdraw up to 100% of the ‘eligible balance’ in their provident fund (PF) accounts, including both employee and employer contributions, said a report by The Financial Express.
The decision was taken at the 238th meeting of the Central Board of Trustees (CBT) held in New Delhi, chaired by Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya. The meeting was also attended by Minister of State for Labour and Employment Shobha Karandlaje, Labour Secretary Vandana Gurnani, and Central Provident Fund Commissioner Ramesh Krishnamurthi.
