Form 15G/ 15H – Self Declaration not to Deduct TDS

Form 15g for epf withdrawal is required for withdrawals before 5 years of service. Usually, you have to pay 10% TDS when you submit PAN for withdrawals before completing 5 years of employment. To avoid this, you can submit this self declaration form along with relevant withdrawal forms. In this form you are stating that your income is below the taxable limit and hence no TDS should be deducted.

Composite Claim Form

When applying for the withdrawal offline, you are required to fill out the Composite Claim Form which serves the purpose of three forms – Form 19 (For Final PF Settlement), Form 10C (For Pension Withdrawal) and Form 31 (For Part-withdrawal of PF amount).

FAQs on Pf Withdrawal Forms

1. Do I need to submit Form 15G for a PF withdrawal if I have been a PF member for more than 5 years?

Ans: A straight reply to this question will be NO. You don’t need to pay any tax when you are a epf member for more than 5 years. So, you don’t need to submit 15G/H along with withdrawal form.

15G has to be submitted when you don’t want TDS to be deducted by EPFO. TDS will be deducted if the withdrawal amount is greater than Rs.50000. There is no deduction of TDS if the withdrawal amount is less than Rs.50,000.

2. What should be the minimum time difference between form number 19 and 10C for a PF withdrawal?

Ans: There is no such time limit between these 2 kinds of withdrawals. you can withdraw pf balance if you are eligible for both.
