PF Withdrawal and Tax Implications

  • EPF withdrawals are exempt from taxation if an employee consistently contributes for five consecutive years.

  • If there’s a break in EPF contributions within the five-year period, the withdrawal becomes taxable for that FY.

  • TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is applicable when an employee withdraws an EPF amount exceeding Rs 50,000 before completing five years of service.

  • For early EPF withdrawals (before five years) exceeding Rs 50,000:

  1. TDS of 10% is deducted if the employee provides their PAN card.

  2. Without a PAN card, the TDS rate increases to 30%.

  • Employees can avoid TDS by submitting Form 15G (for individuals below 60 years) or Form 15H (for individuals above 60 years).

  • EPF withdrawals after completing five years of continuous service are tax-free, and no TDS is deducted.

  • Web Tax services keeps you informed for optimal financial planning and to make informed decisions regarding EPF withdrawals.
