EPF Interest: When will 8.25% be credited? How is it calculated?
•EPFO's CBT approved 8.25% interest for EPF deposits for the financial year 2025-26.
•Interest credit has no fixed date; it requires CBT decision and central government approval, which can take 2-3 months.
•The credit process for all members can extend from August to December, not necessarily simultaneously.
•EPF interest is calculated based on the monthly running balance, effective from the last day of each financial year.
•Calculation rules include full year interest on previous balance (adjusted for withdrawals), interest on withdrawals (until month preceding withdrawal), and interest on new deposits (from next month).
