Is the Interest on My Unclaimed PF from 2010-2013 Taxable? Seeking Advice!

yomcule
I worked for a firm from June 2010 to September 2013. I have not withdrawn or transferred my PF balance. Will any interest earned on that money be taxable? Please help.

Kind regards,

Not taxable. Withdraw the amount within September 2016, or else you will lose interest thereafter.

Interest on Provident Fund: Taxability and TDS

Interest on the amount that remains in the Provident Fund for a long period is not taxable, and consequently, it is not subject to any TDS. Secondly, the PF amount typically remains with the EPFO, and the EPFO does not deduct any TDS. Your query needs more details about the deduction as mentioned by you and the IT section under which TDS is deducted.

Regards.
