Every salaried person deposits a part of his life’s earnings in the PF account. He gets this money in the form of retirement fund. Along with this, you can withdraw money from PF account for expenses like in case of illness, education or marriage expenses of children, for buying a house etc.
The government had closed the old pension scheme in the year 2004. In such a situation, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization was created for the first government employees. Later, private employees were also included in this. Every month 12 percent of the basic salary of every EPFO account holder is deducted as PF. Apart from this, the Employer Company also deposits 12 percent salary of the employee in PF.
