Just ahead of Diwali, this is a good news for over five crore subscribers of the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO).
The 8.5 per cent rate of interest on provident fund deposits for the current financial year was decided by the EPFO’s apex decision making body Central Board of Trustees (CBT) headed by Labour Minister in March this year.
