The Central Board of Trustees of EPFO, headed by the Labor Minister, had in March this year approved the same interest rate of 8.5% for 2020-21 as in the previous year. However, the labor ministry will have to compulsorily take approval from the finance ministry on the proposed rate. Top officials of the labor ministry earlier this month met finance ministry officials and asked them to expedite the process after answering their queries.
The EPFO had estimated income of around Rs 70,300 crore in the last financial year, which included around Rs 4,000 crore from selling a part of its equity investments and Rs 65,000 crore from debt.
