you will get interest on the rate 9.5% but ecently there is a amendment in pf board that after 3 year if there is no transaction is not happen in pf amount then after three year no interest will be calculat on pf

1. Interest decided by Central PF Trustees for 2010-11 is 9.5%. Before that the interest rate was 8.5%.
2. The dis allowing of interest accumulation for the inoperative accounts from the 37th month onwards will come into force w.e.f 01.04.2011.

Hi
You may not get interest on your pf accumulation wef 1/4/11 if there are no transations in your pf account.
It is better to get it transferred or withdraw.

Dear Harshalwani,
please clear that when you switch to new company everytime you have to get sign on form 13 of current employer and deposit it to epf department for the epf amt of last company a/c transferred into new company;s epf a/c. If you do so than your all epf account will club together and you get the whole amount on withdrawal.

can you please provide some details on what should happen in this situation.
-Thanks,
