New Delhi: Around six crore EPF subscribers are waiting for the final nod from the finance ministry on crediting of 8.5 percent rate of interest for 2019-20 in their employees' provident fund (EPF) accounts.

Though there is yet to be any official confirmation on the above, it is being reported that the news would be coming anytime soon. Earlier in September this year, the Employees Provident Fund Organisation had decided to split 8.5 percent interest into two installments of 8.15 percent and 0.35 percent in its trustees meet headed by Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar.

Meanwhile, in December this year, PTI quoting highly placed source said that the Labour Ministry has sent a proposal to the Finance Ministry to give concurrence to credit 8.5 percent rate of interest on EPF for 2019-20 earlier this month. The source further said that earlier the Ministry of Finance had sought some clarifications on the rate of interest for the last fiscal, which were duly addressed.

Meanwhile the retirement fund body EPFO has tweeted that subscribers can check their PF Balance from the comfort of home using four different ways --check PF balance using SMS, online, missed call and UMANG App.
