While the scheme primarily serves as a retirement fund, it also allows early withdrawals for specific purposes, such as purchasing a new house. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to withdraw your PF online for buying a property.

Employees can withdraw their EPF funds under certain conditions before retirement, including for buying a house.
