EPFO invests the deposits of PF account holders in many places. A part of the earnings from this investment is given to the account holders in the form of interest. According to the circular of EPFO, interest will be deposited at the rate of 8.15% for the year 2022-23 in the account of each member of the EPF scheme. Although, the last time 8.15 percent interest rate was announced in March, the same interest rate has been kept in force in July.

Employees’ Provident Fund is a mandatory contribution for salaried employees. The employer is also bound to make an equal contribution to the EPF account. An employee contributes 12% of his earnings to his EPF account on a monthly basis. The entire contribution of the employee is deposited in the EPF account. While, only 3.67 per cent is deposited in the EPF account in the case of the employer, the remaining 8.33 per cent goes to the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS).
