- Post high-school education in India or abroad of the subscriber or his children including traveling costs
- Children’s marriage
- Medical treatment of the subscriber or his family including traveling expenses
- Purchase of TV, washing machine, cooking range, geyser, computer etc
- Building or purchasing a house or repaying a home loan.
- Renovating a house
- Purchase of an insurance policy or a pension approved under the GPF rules
An employee can withdraw his accumulated GPF funds on various grounds, but the only mandatory condition is completing 10 years of service or within 10 years before the date of retirement on superannuation, whichever is earlier. This applies if the employee has not left the government service.
