EPFO fixes 8.15% interest rate on employees' provident fund for 2022-23

The decision was taken by EPFO's board of trustees. Last year, EPFO had declared 8.1 per cent as the rate of interest for 2021-22, which was the lowest in 40 years. The last time the interest rate had slipped to 8 per cent was in 1977-78. Subsequent to the CBT decision, the interest rate on EPF deposits for 2022-23 will be sent for the finance ministry's approval.
