Interest on PF Deposits in Company-Owned Trusts
How can the government or EPFO pay interest on any PF deposited in a company-owned PF trust? You will get interest on deposits maintained in the bank, but will you get interest if cash is put in a box in your house? Interest to the members who contribute to a PF Trust will be paid by the company and not by the government/EPFO. Normally, the rate of interest will be higher than that declared by the EPFO from time to time.
