Easy PF Fund Withdrawals with UMANG App: A Step-by-Step Guide

Every employee's salary makes a contribution to the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). After retirement, PF account holders can withdraw the entire amount deposited with EPFO; however, EPFO account holders can also withdraw funds in an emergency. With the help of the government's Umang app, you may now withdraw money from your PF account while sitting at home.
