Union Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has said that the annual interest for the financial year 2025-26 at 8.25 percent will be credited soon. Mandaviya said that members will be able to view the interest credit in their passbook by July 15. He noted that earlier, although the EPFO interest rate was declared much earlier, the actual credit to members’ accounts generally took place only by October-November.
Mandaviya said the centralised platform would provide members with a unified digital interface. The revamped EPFO Member portal, will give access to members a unified digital interface. PF subscribers can view their membership details, provident fund balances, claim status, pensionable service records, and benefits availed on the portal.
