Please understand that Employees Provident is different from Public Provident Fund. They are two different Funds and purpose is also different
EPF is a contributory fund and one need to be an employee under EPF Act for the same
Public Provident Fund is for the public who wants to save money. There is no contribution from other. It fetches just interest. It is just like National Savings Certificate. Please approach any Post Office nearby to open an account You can also open PPF accounts in many Banks today
Do not get confused between these two funds
