The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is set to credit 8.25% interest for the financial year 2025-26 into provident fund accounts by July 15, marking the first major milestone after the successful rollout of its new centralised digital system.
Government's proposed EPFO reforms promise faster, paperless withdrawals through UPI and ATM-like services, but financial experts warn against frequent withdrawals that could weaken long-term retirement security.
