The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has started credit of interest at the rate of 8.5 per cent for FY 2019-20 in the Provident Fund (PF) account of its more than six crore subscribers. This interest will be available on the amount deposited in the PF account. Earlier it was proposed to credit the account at the rate of 8.15 and 0.35 per cent, but in the final it was decided to simultaneously credit the entire interest at the rate of 8.5 per cent.
If you also contribute to PF account, then this interest will also come in your account. Whether interest came in the PF account or not, it can be seen sitting at home. Apart from this, if the amount of interest has not been credited to your account, then you can also complain about it.
