I served in company A for 4 years and then in company B for another 4 years. (No gap in between switching companies)
Company A - PF was maintained by the company themselves. Thus at the time of switching jobs i was unable to transfer the PF fund from company A to Company B.
When i quit company B to move abroad - the PF withdrawal amount TDS was deducted at 25%.
Although i had 8 years consecutive service and PF inflows (2 different PF funds) - tax was deducted.
Question 1) Can i ask for tax exemption as my service was 8 years
Question 2) Can i get tax exemption as in my scenario PF contribution could not have been continued as i moved abroad
Question 2) In case answer to Question 1 or 2 is yes - what is the exact process while filing taxed to get the tax exemption/refund
