EPFO retains interest rate on deposits at 8.5%

The Employee's Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) on Thursday decided to retain interest rate on provident fund deposits at 8.5 per cent for the financial year 2020-21. This was decided at the 228th meeting of the EPFO central board of trustees (CBT) that was held today in Srinagar. Union Labour Minister Santosh Kumar Gangwar is the chairman of the CBT. The board took the decision after it reviewed its earnings and financial position.

There were speculations that the retirement fund body would lower interest rates for the current fiscal as economic downfall due to the coronavirus pandemic led to large number of withdrawals.
