Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF): 3 reasons why you might earn less returns this year

Live Mint  

If you are depending on your employees' provident fund account for retirement needs, earnings from this financial year is likely to disappoint you. Despite falling interest rates in fixed deposits and small saving schemes, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation had declared an interest rate of 8.5% for 2019-20. Since there will be less contribution for 3 months, the monthly balance will be lower to that extent and will lead to lower interest credit," Saraswathi Kasturirangan, Partner, Deloitte India, said. 3) EPFO interest rate likely to fall further this year Given the falling interest rate scenario in India now where the Reserve Bank of India has been cutting policy rates regularly, it would be tough for the EPFO to maintain 8.5% interest rate for this financial year too. Public Provident Fund interest rate has been cut to 7.1% while the interest rate on National Savings Certificate has been slashed by 110 bps to 6.8%.
