In the EPF account, 12 per cent of the salary is contributed by the employee and the rest 12 per cent is added from the employer’s side to the EPF. Out of the 12 per cent contribution from the employer, 3.67 per cent is invested in the EPF account whereas remaining 8.33 per cent goes towards Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS). The statement of EPF account, the EPF passbook, helps the individuals to check the PF balance linked with multiple UANs if any.
