EPFO-defers-decision-on-PF-interest-rate-for-2010-11

NEW DELHI: The EPFO on Friday deferred a decision on interest rate on provident fund deposits for 2010-11 following pressure from trade unions
that want rates to be raised to 9.5-10.5 per cent from 8.5 per cent.

The Central Board of Trustees, the apex decision making body of the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), however, allowed the organisation to invest funds in corporate bonds of joint venture companies where government holding is at least 26 per cent, an official spokesman said.

The CBT meeting, which was chaired by Labour and Employment Minister Mallikarjun Kharge, also cleared the proposal for raising insurance benefit under Employees Deposit Linked Insurance scheme from Rs 60,000 to Rs one lakh.
