Pension calculator: Provident Fund, an investment scheme run by EPFO, is one of the first choices for preparing a retirement fund. In this scheme, some part of the salary of the salaried employee goes every month and the company also contributes the same amount. Of the employer’s contribution, 3.67% goes to the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) and 8.33% to the Employee Pension Scheme (EPS), which makes the employee more prepared. In this, the benefit of EDLI (Employee’ Deposit Linked Insurance) is available, under which, in case of untimely death of a PF member, his nominee gets an insurance benefit of up to Rs 7 lakh.
