Employee Provident fund (EPF) is termed as an ideal investment scheme for any salaried employee, owing to its E-E-E (exempt-exempt-exempt) nature. In other words, investment in EPF, interest from EPF and withdrawal from EPF after 5 years is exempt. Here, we will discuss the process for online PF transfer.
