Withdrawal of money from any PF which is contributed by the employee is not taxable in any case
but if the fund include the part of employer contribution then it will taxable if the PF is a URPF.
if it is a RFP then only the interest part of employer contbn on PF is taxable in income from other sources.

Hi,
I would like to add something here ,actually the interest on the portion contributed by employer is taxable only if it exceeds 12 %p.a.. And only the excess portion is taxable.
