EPFO Begins Interest Credit for Provident Fund Accounts in FY 2024-25
Interest Credit for EPF Accounts
The Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has initiated the process of crediting interest to Provident Fund (PF) accounts for the financial year 2024-25. Although there has been no official announcement from EPFO regarding this, numerous account holders have reported an increase in their PF balances.
It is important to note that the government has already approved an interest rate of 8.25% for the EPF. This rate was established based on recommendations made by the EPFO board in February 2025. Currently, approximately 70 million account holders across the country are receiving this interest in their PF accounts. Let's explore how you can check if the interest has been credited to your PF passbook.
How to Check Interest in Your PF Passbook
Steps to Verify Interest Credit:
- First, visit the EPFO passbook portal at https://passbook.epfindia.gov.in.
