The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has long been a vital investment avenue for working professionals. Both the employer and employee contribute to a Provident Fund (PF) account. As per the standard rules, an employee contributes 12% of their basic salary to the Provident Fund, and the employer makes a matching contribution of 12%. Additionally, contributions to the PF account are deposited on a monthly basis.
In addition to this, PF account holders also earn interest on their deposited amount, which is provided by the government under the EPFO scheme. Currently, the EPFO account offers an interest rate of 8.25% which is credited annually by the EPFO. To verify if the interest amount has been credited to their account, professionals can follow the steps, given below.
