EPFO: The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) will soon transfer interest money to the subscribers’ EPF accounts. EPF account holders can easily check their account balance through their mobile. EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) is an easy way to save for retirement, as it is deducted directly from your salary. Let us know how you can know your EPF balance.
How is money deposited in EPF?
The employee’s contribution to EPF is generally 12 percent of his basic salary. At the same time, the employer’s contribution is also 12 percent of the employee’s basic salary and dearness allowance. This employer contribution is divided into two parts – one part goes to the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) and the other part to the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS). This way, the employee gets a big fund on retirement.
