If you have a PF account, then know that the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has started to credit interest at the rate of 8.5 per cent for FY 2019-20 in the Provident Fund (PF) account of its more than six crore subscribers. If interest money does not come in your account, then you can complain about it. For this, you won’t have to go anywhere but you can do this work sitting at home.
