Yes, it is possible to borrow against a pension fund in some cases, but it is not always recommended as it can have negative consequences on your retirement savings.
No. You can sometimes borrow money from a 401k or other retirement plan, but not from a regular mutual fund account. To get money out of mutual funds, you do a redemption.
The difference between a pension fund and provident fund is in how the benefits are paid out. A provident fund pays all he retirement benefits in a lump sum cash benefit at retirement. A pension fund pays one third of the benefit as a lump sum at retirement and the rest is paid out over the lifetime of the beneficiary.
