PF Withdrawal before age 60

This query is : Resolved 

02 January 2020 I resigned from the service in May 2017 and not working since then. I turned 58 on 2nd December 2019 and will complete 60 years on 2nd Dec 2021. Since I am not working now, I can withdraw PF fully or partially (for valid reasons of children education, marriage etc).
I have 2 queries
1. I want to know if any such amount that I withdraw before I turn 60, will get added to my income and if I am liable to pay tax on the same or as per EEE, its tax free?
2. Should I withdraw the amount entirely 3 years after my last contribution (which was in May 2017) so that I don't get taxed or will the account remain active and I can withdraw after turning 60 years to avoid paying tax?

Regards

02 January 2020 1 It's tax free after 5 years of service on resignation. No need to wait for 60 years.
2 You can withdraw it now entirely.
