EPFO account holders were expected to get the interest money (PF Interest Rate) on the amount deposited in PF by December-2022. The major reason for this was that in the last financial year also the interest rates were revised in the month of March and the money was transferred in December 2021, but this could not happen.

Interest transfer expected before Holi

After the announcement of changes in the rules regarding PF during the budget, the expectation of the account holders has increased again that soon the interest money received on the amount deposited in PF for the financial year 2022-23 can come in their account.

If media reports are to be believed, a similar possibility is being expressed in them that before Holi, the government can give a big gift to the members of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). No official announcement has been made by the government regarding the interest of PF.

Know the new rules for PF withdrawal

Talking about the change in PF rules, on February 1, 2023, while presenting the general budget of the country, the government had announced relief regarding the withdrawal of EPF money. Under the new rule, now TDS deduction on withdrawal of money deposited in PF has been reduced from 30% to 20%. This decision of the government will benefit such PF account holders whose PAN card is not updated in their PF account.
