PF WITHDRAWAL TAXABLE OR NOT IN BELOW CASE


This query is : Open 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a Provident Fund (PF) withdrawal is taxable when an individual worked for Vodafone for 4 years and 8 months before joining HDFC Bank and withdrawing the PF balance from the old employer. The consensus is that the withdrawal is taxable because the continuous service period of 5 years was not met with the first employer. However, the 10% TDS deducted can be claimed back by filing an Income Tax Return (ITR).

25 August 2020 One of my client worked in vodafone for 4 years 8 months then he joined HDFC bank.

he did not transfered his PF balance in new account of PF with HDFC

2 years after joining HDFC he withdrew whole PF balance with old employer.

10% TDS is deducted on the same.

is the same taxable?
can we consider it as withdrawal after 5 years and exempt it?

25 August 2020 Yes, it's taxable as 5 years service not completed in Vodafone.

31 August 2020 You can claim TDS Refund by filling ITR
