How to check if your account is inoperative
If your PF account hasn't seen any action for 36 months after it's eligible for withdrawal, like after you turn 58, move abroad for good, or pass away, it's marked as inoperative.
Just switching jobs doesn't count.
There are about 31.86 lakh such inactive accounts holding a whopping ₹10,903 crore.
This pilot project (recently approved) could make it way easier for people, or their families, to reclaim forgotten savings.
So if you've ever had a PF account lying idle, now's a great time to check if some cash is coming your way!
