Dear Narasimharaj,
Yes, you are eligible to withdraw both PF and pension fund amounts.

Hi,
Though you are eligible for withdrawal, please consider following:-
For pension under EPS, the minimum contribution period is ten years. For want of one more year of service, you will be losing an old age benefit of pension. I would suggest that you continue to work for one more year with contribution to EPF/EPS so that you will be eligible for pension. Secondly, if you withdraw the EPS contribution, you will be losing a portion of the contribution.
With best wishes,

Dear Narasimharaj,
As Mr. Premkumar Nair rightly mentioned, monthly pension is a Social Security measure which will be the only source that all of us can reliably depend at our old age. Those who have a service of 9 years and 6 months are eligible for pension. Hence it is better to complete 6 more months.
For 9 years of service, withdrawal benefit is 9.33 times of salary. Accordingly there is no question of losing EPS contribution.

you can withdraw both
but unfortunately they will not prefer to release the pension fund and will force you to some extent to get scheme certificate
by the way whats your age?
