Normally employees do not have huge funds to acquire their desired home due to lack of sufficient money.

The new amendment of the scheme enables the EPF subscribers to withdraw up to 90 per cent if they are the members of co-operative or housing society which has at least 10 members.

This amount can be used to buy or a flat or house or purchasing a site. It can even be used to construct a house.

However, only those subscribers who can fulfill certain conditions can only avail this offer.

The member should have contributed for at least three years to the fund if he or she wants to apply under this scheme. The subscriber can avail this facility for only once in their life time. In any case, they cannot apply for more than once.
