EPF Interest Continues Post-Retirement Until Age 58 or Three Years After Retirement
Under the Employees' Provident Fund Scheme, EPF balances continue to earn interest after retirement until the account becomes inoperative. For members retiring before age 55, interest accrues until they reach 58. Those retiring at or after 55 earn interest for three years post-retirement or until withdrawal, whichever is earlier. The Employees' Pension Scheme allows early pension from age 50 with reduced benefits, full pension eligibility at 58, and deferred pension up to 60 with increased benefits.
