At 8.25%, your ₹5L PF balance earns ₹41,250/year — more than 1,150 cups of chai at ₹35 each.
Your EPF account currently earns this — will the CBT change it?
Key Takeaways
Log in to your UAN portal (unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in) and verify your current PF balance and employer's contribution are accurate before any new rules kick in.
Check whether your basic salary exceeds ₹15,000/month — if a wage ceiling hike is announced, your mandatory PF deduction and employer contribution base may both increase.
Download your EPF passbook and confirm the 8.25% interest for 2023-24 has already been credited — delays in crediting are common and many members miss spotting discrepancies.

Here's what happened: EPFO's 240th Central Board of Trustees meeting is scheduled for November 19 in New Delhi, relocated from an earlier planned venue in Gir, Gujarat..
