How do I claim my Provident Fund (PF) after resigning from my job in Patna?

Detailed Legal Analysis

PF is governed by the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, and withdrawal is allowed after retirement, resignation, or two months of unemployment from your job in Patna. You can withdraw online through the UAN portal by submitting Form 19 (PF) and Form 10C (pension).

Disputes can be raised as grievances with the EPFO and appeals lie before the Patna High Court under Section 7-I of the Act. Employers in Bihar are also bound by Bihar Rent Control Act 2017 governing the Bihar Shops and Establishments Act for employment conditions.

TDS may apply if withdrawal is before five years of continuous service. Ensure UAN is linked with Aadhaar and KYC is completed.
