I just need some advice. I have a financial emergency and need some money.
Can one borrow or withdraw money from a provident fund?
Simon Brown of JustOneLap responds:
One cannot withdraw from a provident fund before retirement age, but you can certainly approach your employer or HR department to enquire about a short term loan against the fund.
