The Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has received good news for its nearly 8 crore members. The central government has officially approved an interest rate of 8.25% on PF deposits for the financial year 2025-26.
EPFO has instructed all its regional offices to start transferring the interest amount to account holders' accounts without delay. This is the third consecutive year that the government has maintained this interest rate. This time, account holders will not have to wait long for the interest.
EPFO has upgraded its database and software, making the payment process significantly faster than before. Previously, it took one to two months for the money to reach, but now, due to new technology, this process is expected to be completed in a much shorter time. After receiving final approval from the Finance Ministry in June, the fund transfer process has been streamlined.
Account holders can check their balance in four easy ways as soon as the interest amount is credited. They can log in through their UAN on the EPFO's official passbook website, or get information by giving a missed call to 9966044425. Additionally, they can send an SMS from their registered mobile number to 7738299899 or use the Umang app to view their updated balance.
