ESG
When we think about retirement, most of us picture a relaxed, stress-free life. But to turn that vision into reality, financial stability is key and that’s exactly where the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) steps in.
The EPFO is a government-backed body that manages the Provident Fund (PF) for millions of salaried employees in India. Its main goal? To help you build a secure and dependable retirement corpus.
EPFO: Your silent retirement builder
Many see the EPF deduction on their salary slip as just another cut, but it’s far from that. Every month, 12% of your salary goes into your EPF account, and your employer matches this with another 12%. This amount earns tax-free, compounded interest (currently around 8.25% p.a.), which can grow significantly over time.
Let’s break it down:
If you consistently contribute over a career span of 25–30 years, your corpus can multiply thanks to the power of compounding. The trick? Patience and consistency.
More than just savings
The EPFO isn't just about building savings. It offers a three-layered safety net to protect your future:
Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS):
Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI):
Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF):
Offers a monthly pension after retirement, giving you a steady income for life.
Provides life insurance up to ₹7 lakh to your nominee without you paying a separate premium.
A growing, tax-free retirement fund that you can access once you retire.
Together, these benefits ensure that you’re not just saving, but planning smartly for your retirement.
Pro tip: Let it grow
It might be tempting to withdraw from your EPF for big expenses. But unless absolutely necessary, try to avoid early withdrawals. The longer your money stays invested, the more it grows. Time and compounding are your best allies.
Stay in control with IDFC FIRST Bank
Want to keep track of your EPF contributions and interest? With IDFC FIRST Bank’s mobile app, you can check your EPF balance, view your passbook, and track your retirement savings—all in one place, in real-time.
Retirement might seem far away, but the earlier you plan, the smoother your journey. With EPFO, you’re not just saving—you’re securing your future with stability, safety, and peace of mind.
Start now, stay consistent, and let your EPF grow into your retirement cushion.
