EPFO Update: If you are also a subscriber of EPFO, then the Employees Provident Fund Organization has sent a special message for you.
EPFO has told that you will be able to find out through the passbook whether your interest money has been deposited in the PF account or not. You can check PF account online, for which you must have UAN number and password.
EPFO has made it clear that there will be no financial loss for late updating of interest. Updating the interest on the passbook is a process. There will be no actual financial loss on the date on which the interest is recorded in the passbook of the member.
No harm in withdrawing money before interest update
If a member withdraws his EPF balance before the interest is updated in his passbook, in that case also the interest payable at the time of claim settlement is calculated and automatically paid by the system from the date of delivery . Even in this case there is no financial loss to any member.
EPFO interest rate
For the financial year 2023, the interest rate on provident fund of employees has been increased to 8.15 percent. This will benefit more than six crore shareholders of Employees’ Provident Fund.
