If I resign before 5 years of service and withdraw the provident fund (PF), will I also get what the employer had contributed? If I don’t withdraw the PF amount, and make no more contributions to it, will I get the amount contributed by the employer upon my retirement?

PF withdrawal is taxable if service is not rendered continuously for at least 5 years.
If the recognised PF is transferred to another employer, the new employer’s period of employment is also included to calculate the continuous period.
