News of benefits for 6 crore government employees: The government changed these rules in the new year, which will be a big benefit




In the new year, the government has given a big relief to the people who have jobs. The Ministry of Finance has approved full deposit of 8.5% interest earned on Provident Fund. The Employees Provident Fund Organization is now allowed to transfer money to the account once.

Following this decision of the government, interest will now be credited to the accounts of the account holders at once. Earlier, EPFO ​​used to deposit 8.5 percent interest in two installments. It was decided in September that the 8.5 per cent interest would be sent in two installments (8.15 per cent and 0.35 per cent).

The labor ministry sent the proposal to the finance ministry this month seeking approval to deposit PF 8.5 per cent interest in one installment for 2019-20. The Finance Ministry's decision will benefit 6 crore EPFO ​​registered account holders. According to English media, the government is going to transfer money to the accounts of the account holders soon. A meeting of the finance ministry and the labor ministry on the interest rate proposal was held this week, after which the employee provident fund proposal was approved.
