This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the possibility of an employee partially withdrawing from their Employee Provident Fund (EPF) for their daughter's marriage, even with two years left until retirement. While direct withdrawal for marriage isn't explicitly stated as a standalone option, the EPFO does allow for withdrawals up to 90% of the corpus one year before retirement if the employee is 54 or older. It's also mentioned that such a withdrawal might be considered a loan, and checking with the HR department is advised for specific guidance.
