Provident Fund Latest Update: Here comes a piece of good news for the provident fund subscribers. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) on Friday said it has started the process of crediting 8.15 per cent interest to PF accounts for FY2022-23.
Taking to social media, the EPFO said, “The process is in the pipeline and may be shown there very shortly. Whenever the interest will be credited, it will be accumulated and paid in full. There would be no loss of interest. Please maintain patience.”
The EPFO gave this piece of information in a reply to an X user’s post asking “FY2022-23 interest still not credited. When expect the interest will be credited into account”.
While some users said they have already received their interest payouts in their accounts, but the EPFO said that it may take time for the amount to reflect in all accounts. In the meantime, Union Labour Minister Bhupender Yadav said that the interest has already been credited in over 24 crore accounts.

It should be noted that the PF interest rate is decided every year by EPFO’s Central Board of Trustees (CBT) in consultation with the Ministry of Finance. The PF subscribers must know that after the interest is credited, it will be reflected in the PF account of the individual. The subscribers can check the provident fund account balance in multiple ways – via text message, missed call, UMANG app, and EPFO website.
