In sab sawalon ka jawab hai EPFO. Aaj is post me hum EPFO se judi A to Z jankari detail me samjhenge jo har karmchari ko pata honi chahiye.
1. EPFO Kya Hai? (What is EPFO)
EPFO ka full form Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation hai. Ye Bharat Sarkar ke Shram aur Rojgar Mantralaya ke adheen kaam karne wala sabse bada samajik suraksha sangathan hai. Iski sthapna 1952 me Employees’ Provident Funds Act ke tahat hui thi. Iska mukhya kaam private sector ke karmchariyon ke bhavishya nidhi, pension aur bima ka prabandhan karna hai.
Is samay EPFO ke sath 6.5 crore se zyada active members aur 75 lakh pensioners jude hue hain. EPFO 3 yojanaen chalata hai:
A) EPF Scheme 1952: Bhavishya Nidhi Yojana – Retirement par ek sath paisa milta hai.
B) EPS Scheme 1995: Pension Yojana – 58 saal ke baad har mahine pension milti hai.
C) EDLI Scheme 1976: Bima Yojana – Member ki mrityu par uske parivar ko 7 lakh tak ka bima milta hai.
2. PF Ka Paisa Kaise Karta Hai? Calculation Samjho
Ye sabse important hai. Aapki salary se PF kaise kata jata hai:
| Contribution | Kahan Jata Hai? | % |
|---|---|---|
| Aapki Salary Se | Aapke EPF Account Me | 12% |
| Company Ki Taraf Se (3.67%) | Aapke EPF Account Me | 3.67% |
| Company Ki Taraf Se (8.33%) | Aapke EPS Pension Account Me | 8.33% |
Example: Agar aapki Basic Salary 15000 hai to aapka 1800 aur company ka 1800 = Total 3600 har mahine jama hota hai.
3. UAN Kya Hai? Iske Bina Kuch Nahi Hoga
UAN ka matlab Universal Account Number hai. Ye 12 anko ka number hai jo har PF member ko diya jata hai. Chahe aap 10 company badal lo, aapka UAN hamesha same rahega. Isi me aapke sabhi PF account jude hote hain.
- UAN Activation Kaise Kare: epfindia.gov.in > Our Services > For Employees > Member UAN/Online Service > Activate UAN
- UAN Me Kya-Kya Hota Hai: Aadhaar, PAN, Bank Account, Mobile Number sab UAN me link karna zaruri hai, tabhi aap online claim kar payenge.
4. EPFO Interest Rate 2026 – Kitna Byaj Mil Raha Hai?
EPFO har saal PF par byaj ghoshit karta hai. Pichle kuch saalon ka byaj dekhe:
2022-23: 8.15%
2023-24: 8.25%
2024-25 & 2025-26: 8.25% (Anumanit – Sarkar ne abhi tak isko barkarar rakha hai)
Ye byaj Bank FD se bahut zyada hai aur is par Income Tax bhi nahi lagta (5 saal ke baad nikalne par). Isliye PF ko jitna ho sake nikalne se bache.
