The Central Board of Trustees of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation has decided to give benefit of accrual of interest on the inoperative provident fund accounts. Accounts of members who do not receive contributions for a continuous period of three years are treated as“Inoperative accounts”. Interest on these accounts was stopped in 2011. The Board has decided to resume crediting interest on such accounts w.e.f. 01.04.2016. This is in view of recent amendment to paragraph 69(1) (a) of The Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme, 1952 that has been amended to provide for withdrawal of full amount on retirement from service after attaining the age of 58 years.
