Deducting employee contribution in PF


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether an individual can deduct their own Provident Fund (PF) contributions under Section 80C when withdrawing funds after only 7 months of employment. The consensus is that early withdrawal before completing five years of service generally disqualifies the deduction. It also addresses the taxability of the employee's contribution if the employer has already paid TDS on their portion.

15 September 2020 Hi,
I worked for an employer for 7 months in this FY, and later withdrew my PF (which had only 7 months worth of amount), I have below questions:
1. can I deduct my own contribution to the PF as 80C deduction in ITR?
2. employer has already paid TDS for their contribution in the EPF, but not on mine, do I need to pay taxes on my contribution too?
Thank you

15 September 2020 1 No, you can't deduct as withdrawal before completing 5 years.
2 As deduction not claimed you need not include your contribution.

16 September 2020 Thank you for your response.
