EPFO 3.0 to allow employees to increase contribution, ATM Card, Revamped Pension Scheme

I'm also planning to withdraw 75% when new rules are implemented but will wait until interest for FY2324 and FY2425 are credited.

Both interests should already be credited.

Also, when you transfer or withdraw, interest is credited at that time even for current year based on previous year interest rate.
 
I had another thought + query about the calculation.
Goal: Withdraw maximum amount from EPF blanace.

Consider a EPF balance of Rs 30 lakhs.

Scenario 1: Withdraw some amount now, and wait for the new rule to take out the reamining.

If I withdraw now, I will get only a maximum of 50% based on different reasons given.
Say I withdraw only 5L now (Which is some 16.5% of the total corpus). EPF balance remaining = 25L
Now after the new rule comes into effect I can withdraw 75% of that remaining 25L = 18.75L
That means total I have withdrawn 5+18.75 = 23.75L

No another scenario where I don't withdraw anything now and wait for the new rule to come to effect.
So I can withdraw 75% of the total 30L EPF balance = 22.5L

That means, waiting for the new rule is not good if we want to withdraw maximum amount from EPF.
This is true for any combination. What could be wrong here? cc: @rogerthat, @krishc

Hi @cardio_guy this looks like a good idea, but are you sure there aren't limits as to how many times the amount can be withdrawn in a year or something like that?

I think there are limits as to how many times we can withdraw, but defenitely it is more than once.
And we can withdraw 75% in one shot also. So that should not be a problem.
I think we need more clarity, as EPF finds out blunders in their policy, as people point out mistakes, and as there are protests from people against the new policies, there will be changes to these rules. It's like nothing is permanent.

I was just thinking my own case, the EPF rules when I started working in 2010 is very different from now, and will be very different when I reach the official retirement age of 58 or 60, after another 25-30 years. I am not very comfortable EPFO changing the rules and deciding the liquidity of my corpus, so I am trying to withdraw as much as possible now, when posisble, and moving to places where I have visibility and control.

Where do you plan to move the money?
Equity MF, Debt MF or something else?
 
Correct. I didn't wait for this rule to be implemented. Maybe I did a mistake. But I raised a claim yesterday citing house construction.
That is one of the reasons where we don't have to give any docs or proofs. Let me see if they reject it or not.

If it gets approved, I might get just 6 months of contribution (that is the least among total amount, and 50%).

The amount stuck with them is more than 35L and I don't want it to be hanging there.
Peace of mind is more important than 1% more returns with uncertainity of getting back the money.

If they reject my claim, then good. I can submit a new one after the changes are implemented.
Even if they approve and I get back some money now, I will raise another claim after some months to get back the remaining.

@nikhilv0303 There is no tax if your number of years in service is more than 7. Atleast that is what they say.
Cannot be 100% sure because it is EPFO. They can change the rules anytime.
Did you claim get settled?
