EPFO: As you know, all employees in both government and private companies have a PF account. A certain amount gets deposited into this account every month. The government adds interest to this amount every year.

EPFO is set to credit the annual interest for this financial year. Depending on the balance, some account holders could get up to Rs. 40,000 as an additional benefit, all in interest.

For this fiscal year, EPFO is offering an 8.25% interest rate. Those with higher PF savings get more interest. For example, a balance of Rs. 5 lakh could earn you Rs. 40,000.

Each year, EPFO calculates interest on your PF balance and deposits it right into your account. You don't need to apply for it. Once credited, you'll see it in your passbook.
