How Does EPF Contribution Work?

The Employees Provident Fund is a mandatory retirement savings scheme under the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 for establishments with 20 or more employees. Both the employee and the employer contribute 12% of the employee's basic salary and Dearness Allowance (DA) every month.

Frequently Asked Questions on EPF & EPS

Learn how provident fund balances grow, interest calculations work, and tax rules apply.

What is the current EPF interest rate for FY 2024-25?

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) Central Board of Trustees has set the interest rate at 8.25% per annum for EPF accumulations. The interest is compounded annually and credited to the member’s account at the end of the financial year.

How is the employer 12% contribution split between EPF and EPS?

Out of the employer’s 12% contribution, 8.33% goes toward the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS) subject to a statutory cap of ₹1,250 per month (8.33% of the ₹15,000 wage ceiling). The remaining 3.67% (plus any excess over ₹1,250 if un-capped) goes directly into the employee’s EPF account.

At what age can I withdraw my full EPF and EPS corpus?

Full EPF maturity balance can be withdrawn upon retirement at or after age 58, or upon being unemployed for two consecutive months. EPS pension benefits commence from age 58 if the member has completed a minimum of 10 years of eligible service.

Is EPF interest taxable above ₹2.5 Lakh per year?

Yes. As per the amendment introduced in Finance Act 2021, if an employee’s own contribution to EPF exceeds ₹2,50,000 in a financial year (in cases where the employer also contributes), the interest earned on the excess contribution is taxable as income from other sources.

Can I contribute more than 12% to EPF?

Yes, employees can voluntarily contribute more than the statutory 12% (up to 100% of basic salary + DA) through the Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF). VPF earns the identical 8.25% interest rate as EPF.
