Till when will we get interest on PF money?
EPFO rules clearly state that if a person leaves his job or loses his job, then interest will continue to be paid on the amount deposited in his PF account. This interest is paid till the member reaches the age of 58 years. This simply means that your money will not lie idle but will keep growing with time.
It is important to note that after the completion of 58 years of age, if the money is lying in the account, then interest on it stops. After this age, the government assumes that the person has retired and he should withdraw his money.
