The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has retained the interest rate on provident fund deposits at 8.25 percent for the financial year 2025-26, marking the third consecutive year without change. The Central Board of Trustees (CBT), chaired by Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, made the decision amid global market volatility and moderate investment returns. The rate now awaits approval from the Ministry of Finance before being credited to over seven crore subscribers' accounts, ensuring stable returns for retirement savings.
