EPFO: Employees can get an opportunity to invest more part of their EPF investment in equities. The benefit of this will be available in the form of higher returns. Meaning the returns can be much higher than the current 8.5 per cent interest.


EPFO: Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) is considering giving an opportunity to all EPF subscribers to opt for equity investment. Till now more than 6.5 crore subscribers of EPFO ​​do not have this option. 

But, EPFO ​​invests up to 15 percent in equity market (EPFO equity investment) through its fund managers. Good interest is also offered to you on the basis of the returns earned from it. Currently, 8.5 percent interest (EPF interest rate) is being available on PF.
