Superannuation Fund is a retirement benefit plan for the employees. This is mostly managed by companies like Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
The company contributes 15% of basic earned wage and deposits it to LIC. This is / can be invested by LIC Fund Managers thereafter. Tax is deducted by the companies on superannuation amount on month on month basis. Tax is deducted on annual amount more than 1,00,000.
When the employee retires, he / she can withdraw 1/3rd from the fund. The rest is converted into capital for payment of annuities. The annuity amount varies depending on the age of the employee, his/her fund size, what option the employee is asking for viz. monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual payments of annuity.
If the employee resigns, the employee can transfer the amount to the new employer. If the new employer does not have superannuation scheme option then the employee can withdraw the amount and the employee needs to pay taxes. The employee can however may not withdraw and retain till the superannuation age.
