Are in urgent need of money? Is your employer not helping you? Do you want to lodge provident fund complaints against the employer? You are at the right destination. This article would help you in it. I will discuss on PF withdrawal rules and PF withdrawal issues complaints in details.

For complaint regarding the provident fund, a PF member can register his grievances on the EPFO website. EPFO, an acronym for Employee Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), is a statutory body under the labour ministry of India for managing and looking after the employee provident funds. The EPFO of India helps salaried employees to save a part of their salary each month to build tax-exempt corpuses and hand over the same with interest and employer contribution at the time of their retirements. According to the new PF withdrawal rules 2016, an employee can use their provident fund money in some unavoidable circumstances like home loan payoff, treatment for self, medical bill payoff, admission of children in medical and engineering colleges, and renovation and alteration of homes and properties. EPFs, alias PFs, are basically a long-term savings tool to secure the life of the retired employees. It is responsible for giving an employee a financially stable condition and peaceful life after his or her retirement.
