The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) provides many benefits to the employees of the organized sector of India. Under this, regular deposits are made in the PF account of the employees, on which the government currently pays an interest of 8.1% (Interest Rate on EPF Account).
This deposit helps in increasing the savings of the employees. Additionally, EPFO also provides a pension facility to the employees after retirement, which ensures their financial security. Thus, EPFO plays an important role in securing the future of the employees.
How much retirement fund will those with a salary of Rs 25,000 get?
Even if the basic salary of an employee is ₹ 25,000, a good amount can be deposited in their EPF account by the time of retirement. It depends on their and the company's contribution, and the interest received on it. By the age of 60, this amount can be in lakhs, especially if the job tenure is long and the interest rate remains stable.
EPF fund depends on these three points-
The salary of the employee, his current age, and how much the salary increases every year, the balance of the EPFO account depends on these three factors. 12 percent of your basic salary is deposited in the EPF account. Therefore, PF balance can be calculated based on these three factors.
