New Delhi: The Central Board of Trustees, EPF, last month recommended 8.50% annual rate of interest to be credited on EPF accumulations in members’ accounts for the financial year 2020-21.
Since FY 2014 EPFO has consistently generated returns not less than 8.50 percent. A high EPF interest rate along with compounding, makes a significant difference to gains of subscribers.
The EPFO Online member portal allows a host of services to its members to access, that range from checking their passbook, tracking their EPF fund, transfer their claim online and a lot more. One such facility that EPF members can avail of is updating their bank details via the UAN portal.
