What's happening?

These are the rules of the Employees' Provident Funds Scheme, 2026, in force from 1 July 2026. 25% of your PF always stays in until you leave work. Claims for an advance up to ₹5 lakh are settled automatically, usually in 3 working days.

Three accounts in one

Every month, money from you and your employer goes into three accounts.

Account Who pays in What you get When
EPFEmployees' Provident Fund You, 12% of basic pay and DA. Your employer, 3.67%. Your savings with interest, 8.25% a year for 2025-26. All of it when you retire. Parts of it before, see above.
EPSEmployees' Pension Scheme Your employer, 8.33% of pay up to ₹25,000. Nothing from you. A monthly pension of at least ₹1,000. From 58, after 10 years of membership. From 50 at 4% less for each year before 58.
EDLIEmployees' Deposit Linked Insurance Your employer, 0.5% of pay up to ₹25,000. Nothing from you. Life cover of ₹2.5 lakh to ₹7 lakh, paid to your nominee. If you die while in service.

The wage ceiling is ₹25,000 from 17 September 2026. It was ₹15,000 before. EPFO gives the same 8.25% interest rate for 2025-26.

Your employer's share never comes out of your pay.

Deducting it from your wages is an offence under the EPF Act. Your passbook shows every month your employer paid in, or didn't.
