I recently lost my job at a private limited company. My PF contribution is still there. Can I withdraw it without involving my former employer, especially since I’m currently unemployed? It’s been two months since I left, and I need access to my funds.

Yes, you can withdraw your PF contribution without involving your former employer. You can apply for a non-refundable withdrawal under the “unemployment” category. You will need to submit the necessary documents, including your resignation letter and unemployment proof, to the PF office.
