EPF / PF questions answered

What is EPF and how does it work?

Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a retirement savings scheme for Indian employees. Both employee and employer contribute 12% of basic salary + DA each month. The corpus grows at a government-declared interest rate (currently 8.25% per annum) and is paid out at retirement, resignation, or death.

What percentage of salary goes to PF?

The employee contributes 12% of (basic salary + DA). The employer also contributes 12%, but it is split: 3.67% goes to EPF, 8.33% goes to Employee Pension Scheme (EPS). So your EPF account grows with 15.67% (12% + 3.67%) of basic+DA each month.

What is the current EPF interest rate?

The EPF interest rate for FY 2023-24 is 8.25% per annum, as declared by the EPFO (Employees Provident Fund Organisation). The interest is calculated monthly but credited to the account annually.

Full withdrawal is allowed at retirement (age 58), or after unemployment for 2+ months. Partial withdrawal is allowed for specific purposes: medical emergency, house purchase, marriage, education, and home loan repayment.

What is the EPS component of PF?

Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) receives 8.33% of basic salary (capped at INR 15,000 basic), so the maximum EPS contribution is INR 1,250/month from the employer. EPS provides a monthly pension after retirement but does not earn interest separately.

Can I increase my PF contribution beyond 12%?

Yes. Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF) allows you to contribute more than 12% — up to 100% of basic+DA. VPF gets the same 8.25% interest and the same tax benefits.
