As of now, the UAN account does not reflect the EPF contributions made during the subscriber's previous job and interest accrued on that.

How does EPF fare against National Pension Scheme (NPS), which has recently become more tax efficient?

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation's decision to hike interest rate to 8.65% brings cheer to its over six crore subscribers.

Here are the best options that you can use to optimise tax savings.

Suppression of unpleasant employment data will not help; proper analysis of such data and strategic planning will do.

As many as 1,84,38,748 new members joined the ESI scheme run by ESIC during the 15 months until November 2018, showed the Central Statistics Office (CSO) study based on payroll data of different social security schemes.

Finance Ministry is actively mulling a proposal to double the minimum pension under EPS-95 from the level of Rs 1,000 per month, benefitting 40 lakh pensioners.

\"We are exploring whether we can offer interest rate of more than 8.55% this financial year. Reduction of the rate is a complete no at this point in time, though the final calculation and accounts audits are still on,\" Prabhakar Banasure, a member of EPFO's central board of trustees, said.

At present, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation invests up to 15 per cent of its investible deposits into the exchange-traded funds

The central government's contribution to the National Pension System (NPS) will be increased to 14 per cent from the current 10 per cent.

Pensioners, between the age of 60 and 80 years, have been staging an indefinite hunger strike at the EPFO headqaurters in New Delhi since Tuesday over demands of a hike in their pensions.

The online facility provided by the EPFO to manage your UAN allows you to check you provident fund balance, make claims and transfer request.

EPFO provides an option to consolidate all your EPF balances which are lying in different member IDs. All contributions made in the past into EPF while in previous jobs can be transferred to the present employer's member ID. Thus making things less complicated for future reference.
