EPF Rate

Though fresh additions slip sequentially in July, women enrolment at a record high

The increase in the limit to Rs 21,000 under EPFO will bring more workers under the retirement scheme

Those earning high salaries should think twice before getting it restructured

Earlier, there was a net addition of 20,164 to EPF subscription in April, 172,174 in May. However, new data now shows subscribers shrank by 61,807 in April and addition in May was just 40,551

Congress claimed that post 2014-15, this was the second such reduction on EPF interest rate

If an investor puts Rs 10,000 a month in EPF at 8.65 per cent interest instead of 8.8 per cent, returns would be lower by only Rs 180 and even if this rate persists for the next 10 years, the difference would be merely Rs 3,822. In comparison, investing the same amount in a one-year SBI fixed deposit would fetch only Rs 8,400.
