Employees' Provident Fund Organisation Retains Interest Rate

The India — Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has decided to retain the interest rate on Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) deposits at 8.25% for the financial year 2025-26. This marks the second consecutive year the rate has remained unchanged. The decision was made by the Central Board of Trustees, the apex decision-making body of the India — Employees Provident Fund Organisation, during its 239th meeting chaired by Mansukh Mandaviya. The proposed rate will now be sent to the India — Ministry of Finance (India) for concurrence and formal ratification. Once approved by the government, the interest will be credited to the accounts of over seven crore India — Employees Provident Fund Organisation subscribers. This stability in the interest rate is seen as providing consistency and clarity for long-term retirement savings planning for millions of salaried employees.
