02 September 2025 The assessee has not withdrawn his PF amount after he left his job for quite a number of years. A substantial amount of interest has accrued on the PF amount. Will this interest on PF amount be taxable in the hands of the assessee if he wants to withdraw this interest amount now ?

Shall be thankful if an expert can kindly answer this query quickly.

Thank you and regards.

02 September 2025 Only the interest accrued up to the date of cessation of employment is exempt; any interest earned after leaving the job becomes taxable at the applicable slab rates in the year it is credited.
TDS at 10% is generally deducted if the interest amount exceeds ₹5,000.
