excess of interest over 9.5% is taxable.

it is given in V.K.SINGHANIA

Interest credited to RPF:

Exempt from tax if rate of interest does not exceed notified rate of interest

(i.e., 9.5 % before september 1,2010 and 8.5 % with effect from September 1 , 2010 )

excess of interest over notified rate of interest is taxable

Long awaited notification now released. Govt has notified exemption on interest rate on EPF to 9.5 % . Earlier EPFO has declared 9.5 % interest rate for Fy 2010-11,but in income tax act rate notified was Just 8.5 % so as per act 1% additional interest was taxable in hands of Employees but after this notification Interest earned from EPF is full exempted.
