You can withdraw 90% EPF to buy home, pay EMI from account




[Tmdl.edu.vn] Over four crore subscribers of the retirement fund body, Employees Provident Fund Organisation, can now make down payments and pay EMIs from their EPF accounts to buy homes

The subscribers of the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), will now be able to withdraw up to 90 per cent of their accumulations in their PF account, for purchase of homes. EPFO users can know their PF account balance on the UAN member portal. 

The EPFO has amended the scheme, by inserting a new paragraph – 68 BD – to the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) Scheme, 1952, to enable a subscriber to make a down payment to buy homes and pay EMIs through the EPF account, a senior official said.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {};
adpushup.que = adpushup.que || [];
adpushup.que.push(function() {
adpushup.triggerAd(“4cbc6643-b533-4344-bc4b-1c337dc43234”);
});

The official said, “Since the labour ministry has issued a notification for the purpose, the scheme stands amended.”

Under the new provision, an EPF subscriber being a member of a co-operative or housing society with at least 10 members, can withdraw up to 90 per cent from the fund for purchase of a dwelling house or flat, or construction of a dwelling house and acquisition of site.

It also provides that monthly instalments for repayments of any outstanding payment or interest, may also be paid from the amount to the government, housing agency, primary lending agency and banks concerned.

However, the withdrawal facility from the PF account will be available to only those PF members who fulfil certain conditions.

Firstly, the member applying under this window, should have contributed to the fund for at least three years. The facility will be available only once to every member, during his or her lifetime.

The rule applies to all those who, together with their subscriber spouse, have at least Rs 20,000 in their accounts.
