The Central Board of Trustees for the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has recommended an interest rate of 8.10% for its subscribers for the financial year 2021-22. This rate will be officially notified in the government gazette before being credited to members' accounts. EPFO has consistently provided high returns by investing in long-term, high-yielding securities and a portion of its equity investments, ensuring a surplus for future benefits without depleting the corpus.

FAQ :
The Central Board has recommended an interest rate of 8.10% for EPF subscribers for the financial year 2021-22.
The interest rate will be officially notified in the government gazette, after which EPFO will credit it to its subscribers' accounts.
EPFO achieves high returns through a prudent investment policy, primarily investing in long-term, high-yielding securities and also from income realised from equity investments.
No, there is no over-drawl on the EPFO corpus due to this income distribution. The recommended rate is a result of combined income from debt and equity investments.
EPFO's assured fixed return approach, announced annually by the Central Board of Trustees, along with tax exemptions, makes it an attractive savings option for PF members.
