EPFO Advises Timely Withdrawal of EPF Savings to Prevent Interest Loss
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has reminded members to withdraw their EPF savings within specified timelines to avoid losing interest. EPF accounts become inoperative after three years of no contributions post-retirement, permanent migration abroad, or death. Members retiring before 55 continue earning interest until 58, while those retiring at or after 55 have a three-year window to withdraw funds. EPFO emphasizes timely withdrawal to maintain interest accrual and secure retirement savings.
