EPFO 3.0: PF Withdrawal Via ATM Card Coming By June 2025, Check Limits

by

In a bid to meet the changing needs of its membership, Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has taken an initiative to cater to the basic requirements for account holders under EPFO 3.0. At the same time, through this facility, members can expect a more seamless way with better services to manage their own funds. The PF withdrawal ATM card likely to be introduced should become available by June 2025, thereby serving millions of employees across India.  

What Is The EPFO 3.0 ATM Card Facility?  

Under this system, the EPF account holder is issued an atm card for:  

  • Partial withdrawal for a part of the PF balance from ATMs  
  • Immediate Access in an Emergency
  • Reducing dependency on PF offices and online portals for making withdrawals  

Eventually, this feature will smoothen the process of PF withdrawals and ensure much quicker and convenient access to funds for the fund holder.  

Wholesale Limits For Withdrawal?

The limit of withdrawal using an EPFO ATM card would tend to be controlled by certain terms:  

  1. Partial Withdrawal – Sometimes, the employees would be allowed to withdraw part of their PF balance for reasons like medical emergencies, education, or home purchases.  
  2. Full Withdrawal Rules – Full withdrawals can only arise for retirement, unemployment over a two-month period, or for relieving good reasons.   
  3. Daily Withdrawal Limit- Like normal ATM cards, EPFO may choose to create a daily withdrawal limit for enhancing fund security.  

Official descriptors on withdrawal limitations are about to be published.  

How To Apply For EPFO 3.0 ATM Card?  

Once the EPFO ATM card program gets started, members can apply through the following steps:  

  1. Visit the EPFO website and log in with Universal Account Number (UAN).  
  2. Check eligibility for an ATM card.  
  3. Apply online for one via EPFO portal or bank-partnered websites.  
  4. Obtain the ATM card at the registered address.  

Conclusions  

PF withdrawal processes have become quicker and easier with the eventual launch of EPFO 3.0 and the ATM card facilities, allowing PF account holders to handle their savings without the tedious process of document completion or interference. Over time, as June 2025 approaches, further updates will be provided regarding the withdrawal limit and application process.
