For the financial year 2022, the government has approved an interest rate of 8.1 percent on Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) deposits for roughly five crore account holders of the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). PF interest will be remitted to PF account holders shortly. If you have Rs 5 lakh in your account, your PF account might earn you Rs 40,000 in interest.
The government will soon transfer money to PF accounts. If this is true then by the end of this month, interest money will be transferred to accounts. If you have Rs 5 lakh in your PF account, then you can get interested up to Rs 40,000.
When will PF be transferred?
EPFO will soon start adding interest money to the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) accounts of the employees. This 8.1 percent interest on EPF deposits is the lowest since the financial year 1978. At that time the interest rate was 8 percent. EPFO has announced how you can know your PF balance in minutes by sitting at home in these four ways.
