## Frequently asked questions

### What if my ₹15,000 basic salary increases by 5% each year?

If your basic salary grows at 5% annually, your EPF contributions also grow each year, leading to a significantly higher corpus than the flat-salary estimate. Most EPF calculators assume a fixed salary, use the Salary Hike calculator to see how increments affect your long-term corpus.

### Can I withdraw my EPF corpus before 10 years?

Partial EPF withdrawals are allowed for specific purposes: house purchase, medical emergencies, education, or marriage after 7 years of service. Full withdrawal is only permitted on retirement (58+) or after 2 months of unemployment. Withdrawals before 5 years of continuous service attract TDS.

### How does EPF compare to PPF for a ₹15,000 basic salary?

EPF is mandatory for salaried employees and includes an employer contribution (3.67% EPF + 8.33% EPS). PPF is voluntary, open to all, capped at ₹1,50,000/year, and has a 15-year lock-in. Both are EEE instruments. EPF is generally better because of the employer contribution, it effectively boosts your savings rate.
