Provident Fund Withdrawal while going for higher studies?

I have working for 4 yrs in an indian company. Now i m planning to resign in april and pursue a master's degree.
I know i will be allowed to withdraw my PF but what i want to know is will it be taxable when i withdraw it?
Since i am going to be a student again with no means of earning, this amount will likely be in the non-taxable income slab for the financial year starting in april. Will this still be taxable?
Is their any way i can avoid this TDS ?

Thanks,

As far as I know, there is not TDS on withdrawal of PF. If it is taxable, then the entire withdrawal amount will be added to the income. As as student your income will be zero. At the same you will be having tax free income of Rs.1,10,000. (For female it is Rs.1,45,000).

In any case the 4 years PF amount cannot be more than your tax free income (Rs.1,10,000). In any case it will become a tax free for you.
