The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has issued interest on employees’ Provident Fund (PF) accounts for the financial year 2024-2025. The interest rate has remained static from last year indicating that the government is keeping faith in employee savings. The Ministry of Labour passed on the update of interest to the PF accounts as over 95% of EPF accounts have been credited the interest amount.
How Much Interest Has Been Credited?
The EPFO has credited 8.25% interest to eligible accounts. If you are a member of EPF the interest has been credited or will be reflected soon depending on your employer’s updating cycle.
