If you work in the private sector and your PF is deducted, you should definitely read this news. Because the organization that manages your PF money is going to make a big profit. The Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) is planning to seek board approval to redeem its investments in CPSE and Bharat 22 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) during the current financial year 2025-26. However, it does not intend to redeem its holdings in other ETF schemes because it wants to extend the investment period from 4 years to 5 years.

Private employees will benefit.
If the board approves the proposal, it is expected to generate capital gains of ₹17,237 crore, which will be credited to the interest account for distribution to EPF members as annual interest at the end of this year. This means that the interest earned on your PF money will be credited.

The EPFO ​​is also planning to seek board approval for EPFO ​​3.0, a project that is expected to overhaul its IT infrastructure and related systems. This system is expected to cater to social security benefits for gig and platform workers and will also help handle the increased workload as the EPFO ​​adds more subscribers through the Employment Linked Incentive Scheme or as notified under the Code on Social Security 2020.

Meeting on Sunday
The EPFO's Central Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet on Sunday under the chairmanship of Mansukh Mandaviya and is expected to deliberate on 18 agenda items. The CBT is the highest decision-making body of the EPFO ​​and comprises representatives from employers, employees, state governments, and the central government.
