The Centre on Friday approved 8.1 per cent rate of interest on employees’ provident fund (EPF) deposits for 2021-22.

The rate would be at a near four-decade low. In March, the Central Board of Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had proposed an 8.1 per cent rate of interest on provident fund deposits, which has now been approved by the Centre. In 2020-21 fiscal, the interest rate was 8.5 per cent. The EPFO is India’s largest retirement fund and second largest non-banking financial institution with a corpus of Rs 16 lakh crore.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
