PF Final Sattlement

This discussion addresses a friend's query about withdrawing their PF final settlement after over 10 years of service and a PF balance of £74,500. The main question is whether Form 15G is mandatory and if TDS will be deducted if it's not submitted. The advice given is that TDS is not applicable for service periods exceeding 5 years, though submitting Form 15G might be a formality. It's also noted that a two-month gap is typically required for full PF/pension settlement.
