My father worked at a bank in Punjab and unfortunately passed away while still employed. The bank has been holding his Provident Fund amount for a while now. Can I claim this PF money? Does the bank have the right to withhold it?

Yes, you can claim your father’s Provident Fund amount as his nominee. The bank does not have the right to withhold it. You need to provide the required documents to the bank, including a death certificate and proof of relationship, to initiate the claim process.
