Amendment in General Provident Fund Rules – Advance, Recovery, and Withdrawal

January 27, 2023 Ekanathan Leave a Comment

What is General Provident Fund in India?

The General Provident Fund (GPF) is a savings and financial security scheme available to government employees in India. Each month, they can contribute a portion of their salary to the scheme until retirement, at which time they will receive the accumulated sum with nominal interest.

Amendment in GPF Rules – Advance, Recovery, and Withdrawal

“Only one withdrawal shall be allowed for the same purpose under this rule. But marriage or education of different children or illness on different occasions or a further addition or alteration to a house or flat shall not be treated as the same purpose. Withdrawal for meeting the cost of education of a child may be allowed on an annual basis till the concerned child continues to pursue the course”.
