EPF Withdrawal Rules

Hi there, I am planning to purchase property within end of this month. Planning to withdraw EPF for down payment but there is one condition as to property should be members name or her spouse. However, I am planning to purchase it on my name as major applicant and including mother's name to get women concession benefit and PMAY benefit, So my query am I still able to withdraw funds from EPF if the property is registered in me and my mom's name?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the eligibility for EPF withdrawal when purchasing property. The main question is whether EPF funds can be withdrawn if the property is registered jointly in the applicant's name and their mother's name, to avail benefits like women's concession and PMAY. The rules generally allow withdrawal for property purchase if the land is owned by the member or their spouse, with specific limits based on salary and the cost of the property.

An employee who has completed at least five years of contribution to his provident fund account, can withdraw money for the purchase of a plot and/or construction or purchase of a house. The amount can be withdrawn for the construction of a house on the plot of land owned either by you or by your wife, or jointly by both. The eligible amount of withdrawal would depend on the purpose for which you are withdrawing the money. For purchasing a plot, the amount available for withdrawal shall be restricted to 24 months’ basic salary and dearness allowance (DA). The amount of withdrawal, however, shall in no circumstances exceed the cost of the plot.
What if I be the primary owner and mom being secondary? still withdrawal is allowed?
I think your wife will be secondary person
