EPFO Members: The Central Government is soon going to transfer the interest money of your Provident Fund (PF) to your account. About 6 crore employed people will benefit from this. According to media reports, the interest of PS can be transferred till August 30. However, no official statement has come from EPFO on this yet.
The central government had talked about giving 8.1 percent interest rate on the provident fund for some time. This interest rate is the lowest interest rate in 40 years. Earlier, the government had given 8.5 percent interest. So this time interest will be transferred to your PF account at the rate of 8.1 percent.

If you have Rs 5 lakh in your PF account, then Rs 40,500 will come as interest.
