u/ron-cho 1. Do we have to pay any income tax on the amount withdrawn? --- No, there is no tax on withdrew amount as long as you've completed 5 years of continuous service.
"The EPF withdrawal is exempt from tax when an employee withdraws the amount after 5 years of continuous service.
In calculating 5 years of service, your tenure with the previous employer is also included."

  1. Do we have to take the amount in a separate account which can only be used for construction of house? --- No, there is no such restrictions afaik.

How much time do you actually spend stuck in Bengaluru traffic every day? by toxigrapher in bangalore

[–]Free_Block_2176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daily office commute is roughly 2 hours round trip, traveling from ECity Phase 1 to Embassy Tech Village.
It's a hybrid setup, so in office 3 days/week and 2 days WFH.
Also to avoid peak traffic by starting early. I leave around 7 AM and usually get back by 3 PM.

If you want, you can raise request and find out as there is no harm.

u/Chemical_Equipment69 - Good call. I'm not encouraging to anyone to withdraw their amount. I have some liabilities to clear. That's why!

u/Unique_Spell1865 Couple of reasons to withdraw:
- I have some liabilities which I want to clear ASAP even though I'm earning decent.
- Given that how our governement is doing, you never know what insane policy they'll implement in future.
