ya u can withdraw PF amount........!!!!!!

yes, PF withdral before expiery of 5 completed years of contribution is taxable in the year of withdrawl.

transfer the PF account to your new employer , it would be a fair.

PF withdrawal is taxable if a person has worked in the company for less than 5 years. Tax cannot be saved even by investing in any govt schemes / bonds. It just gets added to income from salaries, and then the taxability will depend upon the Gross Income of the assessee.

and you may require form 13 to do this..

But i would suggest, if u have joined some Good brand then only u transfer ur pf account,

Otherwise, its better to fill form 10 & 19 and withdraw.

thanks....

If PF is withdrawn before completing 5 years, than what portion of the accumulated balance in recognised PF will be taxable i.e. employers contibution OR employees contribution OR both.

 

Under which head PF withdrawl will be taxable i.e. Salary or Income from Other Sources?

 

Please clarify.

Thanks
