# Withdraw staked PLI

Withdrawal of "staked PLI" is not allowed ***within a year of staking***. Only node operators with high reputation can request for un-stake or early release. In other cases of emergency for the Node Operator, the Governance Committee will take a considerate decision on receipt of the request.

* In this case, a strong justification is required to send via EMAIL to "<Support@goplugin.co>"
* After the review & approval, the node will be unlocked from the "Plugin Governance Committee"
* User can view the "withdraw option" in their staking module like below.

After you click "Withdraw" the staked PLI balance will be received at the respective user's wallet address and the node will be set to "De-active" and removed from the public view.
