New EPF Withdrawal Rules 2025: Major Changes with Examples
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced new EPF withdrawal rules for 2025, simplifying the earlier complex structure.
These changes, announced in a Press Information Bureau (PIB) release dated 14th August 2025, aim to rationalize the earlier 13 different provisions for partial withdrawals into three broad categories.
The new rules reduce documentation, ensure faster claim settlement, and introduce a uniform service requirement of 12 months for all types of withdrawals.
The new structure brings all these under three broad, easy-to-understand categories.
- Reduces documentation
- Ensures faster claim settlement
- Introduces a uniform service requirement of 12 months for all types of withdrawals
