Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya today said that the Finance Ministry has approved 8(point)65 per cent interest rate on EPF for 2016-17. He said, the government will immediately issue the notification and credit the rate of interest to over four crore subscribers.
The ratification of the 8.65 per cent on EPF will enable the retirement fund body EPFO to credit this rate of return into the accounts of the subscribers. The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation trustees had approved 8.65 per cent rate on EPF in December last year.
The Finance Ministry has been nudging the Labour Ministry to lower the EPF rate for aligning it with the rates of small savings schemes like PPF. #casansaar (NewsonAir)
