Government has reduced the interest rate on deposits in Employees Provident Fund from 9.5% to 8.25% for 2011-12. This is likely to affect over 4.7 crore subscribers.
This cut was proposed by the Finance Ministry and a notification was issued by the Labour Ministry, official sources said.
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had provided 9.5% interest rate to its subscribers for 2010-11 after it found Rs 1,731 crore surplus in its books of account.
