EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund)
EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund), or PF (Provident Fund), is a mandatory savings cum retirement scheme for every employee of an eligible organization.
This fund is for your retirement when your job is completed, that means when you retire from the job. Under this, every month of their Basic salary has a contribution of 12% and an equal amount of employer contributes.
That amount is deposited directly into the EPF account. You also get an annual interest in this account. You can withdraw all the total money from this account after your retirement.
It is not that you can withdraw your money only on retirement. You can withdraw some amount from it even before retirement. Which has some conditions, about those conditions we will see in this article.
Here, it would be relevant to mention that Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation has allocated UAN, i.e. the Universal Account Number compulsory for all the employees covered under the PF Act.
Universal account number is linked to your EPF account. Even if you change your job, your universal account number remains the same.
