Direct answer: EPFO has approved/retained an 8.25% interest rate for 2025-26.
Details:
- The Central Board of Trustees (CBT) of EPFO recommended an 8.25% interest rate for FY 2025-26, keeping it unchanged for the second consecutive year .
- After CBT’s recommendation, the rate is sent to the Ministry of Finance for final approval and official notification; once notified, EPFO will credit the interest to members’ accounts for 2025-26 .
- Several outlets reported the same rate (8.25%), highlighting it as a stable return supported by EPFO’s investment portfolio .
Notes:
- If you want, I can summarize how the 8.25% is calculated (monthly accrual with annual credit) and how it compares to prior years.
- Since your location is Prague, CZ, I can also provide a quick English-language explainer on what EPFO is and how PF/EPF works in India, if that would help.
