FY2022-23 PASSBOOKThe Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) is a system designed to provide financial security, responsible for safeguarding the retirement savings of millions of Indians.But what if it isn’t working as it should? Every month, a portion of your salary is deducted and deposited into your PF account, where it accrues interest. What if you're unknowingly losing months or even years of accrued interest on your PF balance?
Our recent customer case has raised serious concerns — missing interest on transferred provident fund amounts. An employee who has been contributing since 2001 noticed that his interest for 2023 was far lower than expected. Instead of receiving interest of 2,84,957 lakhs on the PF corpus of ₹34,54,030 lakh, he got only Rs 47,493 - a shocking shortfall of ₹2,37,464!. If this happened to one person, how many others might be unknowingly affected?
Let’s break down the numbers to understand what’s the case:
