GPF--CONDITIONS FOR WITHDRAWAL

Withdrawals from the Fund

Conditions for withdrawal  :

• Only one withdrawal is allowed for the same purpose.


• The amount shall ordinarily not exceed 60 % of the balance at credit subject to a maximum of Rs 2.5 lakhs or 75 times of the Basic Pay, which ever is lesser. 


• In one financial year, a subscriber can draw either the temporary advance or the part final withdrawal after a gap of 6 months of drawal of any one, so that there would be only two withdrawals in a year.
