What is EPFO?
EPFO is one of the better investment schemes whereby the employees, as well as the employers, make their premiums. Currently, it is the culture of the company that employees take 12% of their basic salary while the employer also takes an equal proportion. The payment after retirement can either be in a lump sump amount or can be paid to the employee in form of pension.
