02 October 2010 I don't think that there is an amendment in Providend Fund Scheme,1968 w.e.f 1/9/2010. But there is a change in the Recognized Provident Fund relating to the interest rate. The change is as follows:-
The labour ministry has hiked the employees’ provident fund, or EPF, rate to 9.5%, but a finance ministry notification says that anything in excess of 8.5% will be taxed.
But even before the EPF board met, the Central Board of Direct Taxes had notified a tax-free PF rate of 8.5% for 2010-11 — effective from September 1,2010. This means that the 1% extra income would be fully taxable. This would become the first time ever that income from provident fund would become taxable unless a conseqential amendmend is introduced in the Direct Tax Laws.
