If the age of an employee is 30 years and his monthly salary is 50 thousand rupees and basic salary will be 15 thousand rupees. So if the average appraisal is taken in 5% salary every year till the age of retirement i.e. 60, then according to the current interest rate of 8.1%, the total amount in the PF account from regular investment will be Rs 65,36,758.
Now the basic salary of an employee will be 25 thousand rupees per month. Then the amount of PF on retirement will be Rs 1,08,94,586. Here the annual increment of 5 percent has been taken, due to which the PF fund will increase further.
