Interest will be credited to accounts after government approval.

The rate of 8.10 percent for the 2020-21 financial year was the lowest since 1977-78, when the rate was 8.0 percent. Sources said, “The Central Board of Trustees (CBT), the highest decision-making body of the EPFO, in its meeting on Monday decided to provide an interest rate of 8.25 percent on Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) for 2025-26.” Following the CBT’s decision, the interest rate on EPF deposits for 2025-26 will be sent to the Finance Ministry for approval. After government approval, the interest for 2025-26 will be credited to the accounts of over 7 crore EPFO ​​subscribers.
