Millions of employees will get good news on new year, PF amount will come to account, know how to check

New Delhi: If you work in a government job or a private company and the funds are cut, then this news means a lot to you. The first day of New Year will bring very good news for crores of government or non-government employees. Be sure to check the account run by the Employees Provident Fund Organization, as the amount deposited in the PF account will increase before January 1. The central government is soon going to transfer a one-time 8.5% interest money to the account of more than 6 crore shareholders.  

In September, in a meeting of trustees led by Labor Minister Santosh Gangwar, the EPFO ​​decided to put the interest at 8.15 per cent and 0.35 per cent in two installments. Labor Ministry has sent a proposal to the Finance Ministry to pay interest rate of 8.5 per cent (full interest at one time) on EPF for 2019-20 earlier this month. The Finance Ministry may approve this proposal in a few days. Through this, account holders working in private companies and losing jobs at the time of retirement get lump sum amount.
