27 December 2014 As per Section 10(13) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 only in the following cases withdrawal from Provident fund is exempt
i) on the death of a beneficiary ; or
ii)to an employee in lieu of or in commutation of an annuity on his retirement at or after a specified age or on his becoming incapa-citated prior to such retirement ; or
iii) by way of refund of contributions on the death of a beneficiary.

Therefore under section 10(13) there is no provision for 5 years, the withdrawal of fund from provident fund other than the circumstances mentioned above will be taxable in all cases.

However, you can take loan against such provident fund balance, not restricted anywhere.
