Withdrawal of PF amount - is it taxable?

Suppose, I have exited from my current job and started a new one and I've not transferred the PF account from previous to current employer. Two separate PF accounts are there within the same UAN. If I withdraw PF amount of the previous job's account, will it be taxable? ( Service in previous job is almost one year)

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether withdrawing your Provident Fund (PF) amount is taxable, particularly when you've left a job and have separate PF accounts under the same UAN. The consensus is that if you withdraw PF before completing five years of continuous service, TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) will be applicable at 10% under Section 192A, making it taxable. It's also noted that if this was your first PF account, the withdrawal could be taxable.

If you withdraw PF before completion of 5 years of service then TDS will be deducted u/s 192A @ 10%, yes it will be taxable
Yes, it's taxable.
If you have joined in the previous company for the first time then PF withdrawal is taxable.

Can you provide your total experience and date of first employment
