You should ask them to explicitly state that the funds are available for your use if you choose to immigrate.

UPDATE:
First hand report. I successfully got my PR in January 2019 using India EPFO statement as Proof of fund. Keep in mind that in my case I got a letter from the PF commissioner that the funds belong to me and there is no lien. Also, my entire fund requirement was not from EPF - It was only about 60% of the requirement.

Thanks it was a great relief

Can you please provide pf certificate format?

EPF can be used as POF successfully.
I got my ppr recently. And I have shown 40% of funds through epf

Hi @Amreeta - could you please let me know if they accepted the EPFO balance letter submitted by you and also do they also accept the EPS (Pension) amount?

Only the EPF not EPS

Thank you @Amreeta - In our case we have submitted a balance certificate provided by Regional EPFO and online passbook statement from UAN passbook page. Is that OK?

And there is no stamping on the passbook statement downloaded from the site

Don't worry. I have submitted exactly the same.
Hyderabad EPFO, declined to stamp on passbook downloades from umang.
But its alright.

Could you please give more details on how this works. I already went to EPFO office and requested them the letter and they straightway denied issuing such letters. All ended at the account section itself and may be if I could get to PF Commissioner, it could have been worked.

Not sure if you have got the letter by this time.

I would suggest to raise a RTI (Right to information) to the PF commissioner and get it done. You need to constantly follow up to get it sooner. In my case it took a month to get the letter.
