Want to withdraw money from your EPF account? Well, you can, but there are some technicalities involved. If you are an Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) subscriber and want to withdraw money from your EPF account to your savings or personal account directly, then you can do that.
To carry forward the withdrawal, all you need to do is update your existing bank (like your personal account) account with the PF account.
