The new scheme was announced through the Gazette of India on 29 June 2026 and came into effect the same day.

This has been launched due to the previous scheme\u2019s 13 overlapping withdrawal categories\u00a0 each with different documentation and eligibility rules\u00a0 frequently causing claim rejections and grievances. The scheme covers all current and future subscribers of the establishment that fall under the ambit of the EPF Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-changes-in-pf-withdrawal-rules\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Key changes in PF Withdrawal Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Withdrawal categories have been simplified: <\/strong>There are three classifications now that cover the earlier <strong>13 provisions<\/strong>.
